cts REEL Storage
Automated SMT storage system for seamless component management
Our REEL Storage automates the storage, management, and provisioning of SMT components on component reels. The system is specially designed for the form factors of SMT reels and allows direct access to each individual unit.
Digital recording in the warehouse means that physical inventory is constantly synchronized with the IT level, eliminating incorrect assembly and manual searches. The connection to autonomous material transport ensures that the required components are sorted and made available to guarantee the supply of materials to the assembly lines without delay.

Vertical density, MSD control, and error-free SMT logistics
Maximum space efficiency through vertical storage
The vertical drawer or carousel architecture allows for the storage of 50–80% more SMT reels per square meter compared to conventional racks. This supports lean inventory practices and significantly reduces storage space requirements.
Automated, error-free provisioning
Guided, automated removal processes provide rolls in seconds and minimize mispicks and manual searches. This reduces setup time directly at the assembly line.
Real-time inventory and compliance control
Seamless MES/MOM integration for real-time inventory visibility, complete batch traceability, and FEFO/FIFO compliance—with intelligent integrated X-ray component counting as an optional feature to reduce waste and minimize downtime.
Protect moisture-sensitive components
Air-conditioned storage areas keep humidity safely below 5% RH in cleanroom-compatible enclosures. This ensures the correct storage of moisture-sensitive components (MSD components) and meets ESD safety requirements.
Scalable, modular architecture
The modular design allows for easy adaptation to changing layouts, SKU diversity, and throughput. This ensures flexible reconfiguration and efficient scaling for future growth.
Integrated just-in-time line supply
MES/MOM-controlled material provisioning delivers rolls in the exact sequence required directly to production. Optionally integrated AMR systems or conveyor lines ensure continuous line replenishment without buffer delays.
Uninterrupted assembly without search times
Our REEL Storage system was specifically developed to secure high-speed SMT production where the greatest risks lurk: in manual material flow.
SMT reels are not only stored automatically in high density, but also specifically identified, tracked in real time, and provided just-in-time (JIT) for every process – from setup kits and line start-up to cycle-accurate replacement calls during ongoing production.
Compatible with all standard SMT rolls: 7“ to 15” (EIA/JEDEC standard)

Highly Compact Reel Storage Arrangement thanks to Vertical Rail Structure
The heart of the system is our rail-guided vertical storage system. Unlike conventional stacking or horizontal storage systems, we store SMT component reels upright on horizontal carriers. This structure solves the problem of reel wear, maximizes packing density, and ensures the fastest access times.
Each reel can be addressed individually. A gripper system uses single-pick logic to remove components directly without restacking. This ensures the fastest access times and error-free material output.
This design enables maximum capacity in a minimum of space. Vertical storage also protects sensitive MSD components from mechanical stress.

This is how we differentiate ourselves from the competition.
Our REEL Storage is not an adapted standard solution, but has been consistently developed for high-speed SMT production. It combines vertical high-density storage, automated precision handling, and seamless traceability.
We are committed to consistent system openness: our WMS can be connected directly to ERP/MES systems via open interfaces. This avoids isolated stand-alone solutions and makes the entire setup process digitally controllable and auditable. The result is an active component in your manufacturing process – from order start to error-free roll on the line.
