Rev 2.19 - David from Inovaxe @SMTAI

The D-Code Podcast

One wrong label can ruin thousands of boards.

SMTAI 2025 show highlight Inovaxe

Our podcast is centered around problems and solutions and David Ly from Inovaxe had one for every problem!

We talked about how easily a simple labeling error can snowball a customer supplied reel with multiple stickers, a misprinted internal label, or just one manual transcription mistake. It only takes one mix-up to create thousands of bad panels.

The point David kept coming back to was being proactive, not reactive. The best ROI isn’t waiting until a problem happens, it’s preventing it entirely.

The video shows exactly what that means.

The MODI Incoming Goods Scanner automates the receiving and labeling process to eliminate human error the second material enters the building.

The IMSD2000 Smart Dry Cabinet lets you locate reels before opening the door, protecting MSL parts and extending floor life.

The SREX Smart Racks bring pick-to-light storage that syncs with MES, ERP, and placement machines for full traceability across the factory.

The Smart Stencil Rack tracks stencil usage and maintenance automatically.

The InoBright Feeder Cart Add-On turns standard carts into intelligent, trackable systems with part and setup visibility.

And the VCcount X-Ray Counter brings high-volume, high-accuracy reel counting with splice and bag detection.

Every piece ties back to one theme eliminating manual touch points before they cause downtime or scrap.

Huge thanks to David Ly and the Inovaxe team for walking us through the lineup. Always a great reminder that preventing problems is the smartest investment you can make.
