Inline Receiving Station IMS-200 from Scienscope

The IMS-200 automates the entire incoming material process by utilizing an automatic loader and unloader that moves component reels through scanning and relabeling stations without manual intervention. It is also AGV-ready, allowing mobile robots to transport material directly to storage racks, completing a fully automated loop.

Yes. The IMS-200 features native ERP and MES system integration. It captures manufacturer barcodes and converts them into a Unique ID (UID), immediately uploading critical data—such as part numbers, lot codes, and MSL levels—to your management software to ensure 100% material traceability.

The system is highly efficient, with a cycle time of approximately 10 seconds per reel for reading, printing, and applying a new label. A single IMS-200 station can handle the workload of three to four manual operators, significantly increasing receiving speed while eliminating human data entry errors.

Yes. The system is designed for flexibility in high-mix environments, supporting 7″, 13″, and 15″ reels. It can load up to 200 small reels (7″) or 50 large reels (13″/15″) at a time in its internal elevator system.

The system utilizes a high-resolution 20MP optical camera paired with advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) algorithms. This allows it to accurately read and interpret barcodes even if they are poorly printed, damaged, or follow non-standard vendor templates.

The key advantages include:

• Labor Savings: Replaces multiple manual steps, allowing you to reallocate staff to more complex tasks.
• Error Elimination: Removes the risk of incorrect labeling that leads to expensive SMT line downtime.
• Rapid ROI: Most facilities see a full Return on Investment within the first year of operation.
• Compliance: Automates MSL and expiration tracking for sensitive components.

Absolutely. All Scienscope material management systems are Industry 4.0 ready, supporting full digital file sharing, automated data entry, and smart connectivity with other factory automation tools.
