NEI01-SB Cell – Non-Electrical Initiation 01 – SNEF Brazil
Innovation, Safety, and High Performance for the Explosives Industry
In a global scenario marked by rapid growth in the mining sector, the demand for safer, more productive, and efficient solutions has never been more urgent. In response to this evolution, iQanto introduces an exclusive innovation for the explosives industry: a fully automated robotic cell, custom-developed for the production of non-electric initiators.
Custom solution with zero human intervention
Designed with a total focus on safety, this robotic cell eliminates the need for human labor in critical stages of the process. The result is life preservation, risk reduction, and a new benchmark in quality and productivity for your operation.
Cutting-edge technology for a market in transformation
This solution combines high-level engineering with industrial automation and robotics, resulting in a compact, intelligent, and robust system, capable of operating with precision and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
The NEI01-SB cell requires only 23 m² of space and features two multitasking robots that perform operations such as tube unwinding and rewinding, component handling, addition of connectors and initiators, and the application of identification and traceability labels — all carried out in a continuous and safe flow.
Technical specifications of the solution
Real answers to industry challenges
More than a machine, this solution is a direct response to the most pressing needs of today’s industry, including:
- Maximum safety in sensitive processes.
- Increased productivity with production stability.
- Standardized and traceable quality.
- Compliance with strict safety, environmental, and quality regulations.

Turning Complexity into Performance:
The Smart Factory for Non-Electrical Initiators
At SNEF Brazil, we have gone beyond the challenge of automating one of the most critical and specialized processes in the explosives industry for mining. We have developed a fully integrated and scalable production line for non-electrical initiators, built on cutting-edge technology, safety, traceability, and performance.
It all starts with the NEI01-SB Cell – Non-Electrical Initiation 01 – SNEF Brazil, a 100% automated cell designed for the precise and high-performance manufacturing of non-electrical initiators. But we didn’t stop there — we engineered the entire production facility, from raw material intake to finished goods handling.
Our complete solution includes:
Everything is seamlessly integrated with digital control systems, industrial safety protocols, and maximum operational efficiency.
With this project, SNEF reinforces its position as a provider of complete, flexible industrial technologies, capable of meeting the demanding requirements of the mining explosives sector and the dynamic needs of scalable initiator production.

"It’s an unprecedented leap.
We are entering a new era where cognitive robots, general AI, and autonomous systems will reinvent industry from the ground up.
Factories that never sleep. Machines that learn on their own. Jobs that vanish — and others that haven’t even been invented yet.
And what drives this transformation?
Flexible innovation – iQanto Solutions
The logic of the 6th Industrial Revolution lies not only in radical automation, but in the intelligent and continuous adaptability of technologies to context, demand, and humanity.
This is the era of flexible technology — technology that adapts, evolves, and responds — in real time — to the needs of a dynamic and unpredictable industry.
While many are still trying to understand what’s coming, we at iQanto Brazil, together with the Business Units of Snef, are already there — in the future — leading, innovating, and safeguarding the future of Brazilian industry.
All of this may sound intimidating. But don’t fear the future.
Be part of it.
The revolution will be automated — and we are shaping the future.
We are part of it."
