Material handling & storage
Equipment for receiving, storing, supplying and counting SMD component reels.
Application and selection
Start with your material flow, then discuss suitable equipment for each step.
The reel loop: six steps
After production, the remaining quantity is counted and the reel returns to storage for the next job. Production remains your process.
- 01
Register incoming
Incoming reels are identified and labelled.
- 02
Store
Reels are placed in organised storage.
- 03
Retrieve / supply
Reels are picked and supplied to your line.
- 04
Production
Your line uses components in production.
Your production - 05
Count remaining
The remaining components are counted.
- 06
Return to storage
Remaining reels return to step 02 Store.
Equipment for your material flow
Explore equipment for receiving, storage, reel supply and counting. The selection depends on your reels, volumes and existing systems.

Estimate the capacity value of your storage workflow
Compare the same tasks and material volume before and after a possible change. Enter your own assumptions.
Example values – replace with your operating figures.
The starting scenario is illustrative only – not SMT/Neotel operating data or guaranteed savings.
Add up hours across all involved staff and shifts once. The total may exceed 24 hours per day.
Add investment and additional running costs
Include installation and integration in the investment. Do not count renting and purchase twice. Blank means unknown; 0 explicitly means no cost.
Your estimate
- Released capacity per year
- 440 hours
- Calculated capacity value per year
- €13,200.00
Capacity value is not guaranteed cash savings. Payroll costs may remain unchanged. Suitability and assumptions need checking for your process.
Discuss your storage workflowThe calculation stays in this browser and is not saved or passed to the inquiry.
Calculation and limitations
Released hours H = (hours today − hours afterwards) × working days. Capacity value V = H × fully loaded hourly cost. Include employer costs and relevant overheads in the rate, and all remaining handling in the future workload.
With explicitly entered annual additional costs C: N = V − C. With investment I also entered and N > 0: months = 12 × I / N. Missing costs are not treated as 0. Negative results remain visible.
Simplified calculation assuming constant annual workload. Excludes interest, discounting, residual values and ramp-up. This is not cash-flow payback evidence or a renting-versus-buying comparison.
Rent or finance material handling
Discuss a single unit or its role in your line. Prices, availability, integration and support scope are confirmed in your proposal.
On its own or with your line
Start with the specific bottleneck in your material flow.
