MEK Catch is a powerful production traceability and inspection data management system designed to connect all MEK AOI and SPI equipment on your SMT line into a unified quality management network. By aggregating inspection results, image archives, and SPC data from every inspection station in real time, MEK Catch provides manufacturers with the board-level traceability, process visibility, and quality reporting needed to meet modern industry standards and customer requirements.
MEK Catch provides a single-screen overview of your entire SMT inspection line – from solder paste inspection through post-reflow AOI to conformal coating inspection. Quality managers can see live inspection results, yield rates, and defect distributions across all connected stations simultaneously, enabling rapid identification of process issues before they propagate across large production quantities.
Every PCB processed through a MEK inspection system equipped with MEK Catch has a complete inspection history tied to its unique identifier. This data can be retrieved instantly to support customer quality investigations, warranty claims, or internal failure analysis – providing a level of documentation traceability that is increasingly demanded by automotive, medical, and defence electronics customers.
MEK Catch supports manufacturers seeking IPC-A-610 quality level documentation, AS9100, ISO 9001, and IATF 16949 traceability requirements. The system’s structured data model and export functions are designed to integrate with leading MES and ERP platforms, reducing the administrative burden of maintaining production quality records.
