Undetected drift in print, placement, and Z-force accuracy quietly erodes yield and margin. CeTaQ's independent, on-site Cpk assessment gives plant and operations leaders objective, statistics-based proof of where your equipment stands — and where it's costing you money.
Print inconsistency, placement drift and other process variation rarely show up as a single obvious failure — they show up as scrap, rework, missed throughput, and warranty risk that leadership sees on the P&L long before engineering sees it on the line.
Machines that "look fine" can still be running outside true capability — driving defect rates and rework labor that never get traced back to the root cause.
CeTaQ clients have documented yield improvements of up to 30% once true machine capability is measured and addressed.
In aerospace, automotive, and medical device production, an unverified process is an audit and liability exposure — not just a quality metric.
Industry data suggests well-maintained SMT lines still see 2–4 hours of unplanned downtime a month. Based on reduced placements and fewer completed assemblies, that works out to roughly $3,739/hour in throughput impact — including opportunity cost — for a monthly exposure of $7,478–$14,956, or nearly $180K annually.
A straightforward way to get an unbiased read on your equipment's true capability — at a reduced rate for 2026.
