NBS's Smart Solutions provide the complete range of products for the Smart Card manufacturing industry needs. NBS Smart Solutions provides a well known range of equipment for:

Milling
We are the first in this industry to provide competitive equipment that performs the milling process, whereby a cavity is created prior to the chip embedding. We now have a strong reputation in the industry and are committed to continued R&D.

Lamination
This is linked to the hot Melt process, using a heat activated adhesive tape to embed the chip. We can perform this lamination process off line as a separate machine or in line.

Embedding
The most valuable and difficult part of the manufacturing process, we offer a complete range of embedding equipment combined with milling (combi) with throughput up to 4,000 cards per hour.

Pre-personalization or Initialization
Before the final personalization in any Smart Card application, a chip pre-personalization is done to load the operating system. Production batches are large whereby the the speed of the machine is a key.

Contactless
We are leading the way with technology for the Contactless industry. We can supply solutions to manufacture and personalize contactless Smart Cards:

  • Assembly of the inlets
  • Detection of the antennas at the milling station for the Combi cards (contactless and contact cards)
  • Embedding of the chip with antenna connections
  • Personalization of the contactless chip
  • Printing of a contactless card

Our Smart Card manufacturing supports the following markets:

  • Telecommunication
  • Financial
  • ID/Government
  • Transport
  • Pay TV
  • Health care
  • Loyalty
  • Contactless
  • and other markets too

Smart Card Manufacturing Hardware solution: A single design platform for all product:

  • From milling to pre-personalization on the same hardware platform
  • Same conveying system
  • Same spare parts
  • Easy training session
  • Very easy R&D capacity

Production model: a very flexible offer from 2000 to 4000 cards per hour:

  • All our machines can run as stand alone up to 4000 cards per hour
  • A combination of Milling, Embedding and pre-personalization is also possible and is unique on the market: MBM Advance

Specific requirement: In addition to the basic machines, we can provide:

  • Testing/pre-personalization solutions for the micromodule directly on film. Available for all market requirements.
  • Quality control by industrial vision system as an option on all our equipment. Custom system built to meet customer requirements.
  • High speed and quality smart card couplers for the personalization industry.
  • A complete range of specific tooling for the punch of all the micromodule existing in the market.
  • Equipment to perform the SIM punching for the Telecommunication market.
  • An SDK and/or our Software platform to manage the per-personalization prior to the finale personalization.
  • Equipment for the microelectronic industry (Wafer handling and testing, wafer die picking, chip encapsulation and component testing).
  • Laboratory/testing tools

Milling (GRX 4000 and GRX Advance) - On a stand alone mode or combined to the embedding, our milling solutions provide accuracy and speed as a major quality for the industry. Our pricing is also an asset on our competition.

Embedding (EHM 4000, LIL and MBM Advance) - We have been the very first to provide a combined machine to the Smart card industry. Our best advantage with this equipment is the modularity and the personalization and contactless capabilities, unique in the market.

Contactless (ATI 2000 and MBM Advance) Our knowledge of the contactless technology allow us to have a considerable time advantage on the competition. Either pure contactless or Combi card can be produce on our equipment.

Pre-perso (HPX series) - Up to 6000 cards per hour (depending on the personalization time). Various laser or ink Jet models can be installed as standard features

Testing (HMX and MTH series) As a strong partner of key players in the semiconductor industry, we have a complete range of micromodule testing equipment.

Smart Objects: With the growing demand on different form factors with an embedded chip, we are designing equipment to handle multiple smart objects for manufacturing as well as for personalization. Since no normalization on such objects has been issued, any projects is custom. Our R&D team can help!
