Inovaxe, a world leader and provider of innovative material handling and inventory control systems, is proud to announce that it has won the prestigious 2025 NPI Award in the Component Storage category for its groundbreaking InoBright Smart Storage Management System.
The InoBright Smart Storage Management System acts as a fleet management solution for OEM Pick-and-Place Feeder Carts, whether they are intelligent or non-intelligent. This new innovation allows users to remotely locate specific feeder setups, feeder cart tables, or even individual parts using an audible indicator and/or an illuminated beacon. This functionality dramatically improves workflow efficiency by reducing search times and ensuring quick and accurate material retrieval.
Each InoBright Module is designed to make non-intelligent Feeder Carts smarter, even when not connected to power. Equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, the module remains operational for up to two weeks without external power, ensuring uninterrupted tracking and management.
Key Features of the InoBright Module:
- 3.5” Built-in Display: Shows critical information related to the line, machine, table, product setup, and part numbers.
- Dual Lighted Beacon: Provides enhanced visibility from a distance for easy identification.
- Integrated Scanner: Enables hands-free scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes on SMT reels.
- Wireless & Battery-Operated: Ensures mobility and functionality even when disconnected from external power sources.
