ECD Expands Successful SmartDRY Intelligent Dry Storage Portfolio
March 21, 2016 | ECDEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Launched less than a year ago, ECD’s SmartDRY intelligent dry storage technology has dramatically changed the way manufacturers approach storage for moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs). With SmartDRY’s many unique features, electronics assembly specialists now have an affordable, sophisticated dry storage solution that is more conducive to dynamic manufacturing environments.
Initially introduced in 10 and 30 cubic foot configurations, SmartDRY has exceeded first year projections by almost double and this success has driven development of a third model, SmartDRY SD-48F. The larger, 48 cubic foot SmartDRY SD-48F is designed to accommodate many different feeders and feeder cassettes, enabling maximum dry storage capability for high MSD component volumes. SmartDRY SD-48F is compatible with feeder technology from multiple vendors and maintains the elegant design of the original SmartDRY systems.
“The market acceptance of SmartDRY has been overwhelming,” says ECD President and CEO, Todd Clifton. “Clearly, there was an unmet need in the industry for intelligent, user-friendly, intuitive dry storage technology and ECD is delighted that we have been able to deliver what customers have long-required. Now, in response to the tremendous satisfaction of MIL/AERO customers with the premiere SmartDRY models, we have engineered SmartDRY SD-48F to allow for feeder storage for high-volume manufacturing operations.”
Like all SmartDRY systems, the fully J-STD-033 compliant SmartDRY SD-48F offers manufacturers distinctive advantages including frequent parts access (as often as 10 to 12 times per hour) for maximized productivity, full networking capability allowing data viewing 24/7, innovative LED lighting for visual confirmation of unit status and interior illumination, and a rugged design manufactured in the USA.
“In addition to expanding the product line with SmartDRY SD-48F, we have broadened the regions in which the technology is available,” comments Clifton in conclusion. “Strategically, ECD decided to launch SmartDRY in North America and ensure proper sales channels, supply chain components and technical support in other regions before pushing the geographic boundaries. This strategy has proven hugely successful and we are excited to bring SmartDRY technology to Europe, where customers are already leveraging its powerful dry storage capability.”

iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging
04/26/2024 | iNEMIAdvanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit.
