Smart Shelf — 13"/15"
Single-sided shelving for 13" and 15" reels, with reinforced layers and the full 8–72 mm tape range.

Overview
The NORDEC Smart Shelf 13"/15" single-sided handles large reel formats on reinforced shelves across the full 8–72 mm tape range. In a four-layer configuration for 8 mm tape it holds up to 448 reels per unit. Single-sided geometry keeps the whole shelf visible and accessible from the line, which suits sites where floor space allows and pick accuracy matters most. LED guidance indicates the position to pick, position sensors confirm removal and placement, and reel locations are registered so stock and sequence stay traceable in the material-management setup.
