MEK will be exhibiting at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show 2026, running 3–5 February at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, on the Gen3 stand (C100). Visitors can see the Marantz iSpector JDz 650L inline AOI system in action, a versatile and affordable platform capable of inspecting complex assemblies quickly and accurately.

At the heart of MEK’s offering is the flagship full 3D AOI with AI,  one of the most advanced inspection solutions available. Combining multi-angle 3D imaging with AI, the ISO-Spector M2 delivers the inspection capability modern electronics production demands, including high-density, high-mix assemblies. At the same time, the system is designed for usability, allowing even a novice operator to programme the machine effectively.

MEK is also a leader in THT inspection, providing specialised systems for through-hole assemblies and other challenging boards. The company also remains one of the few suppliers of benchtop AOI systems, giving smaller manufacturers and prototyping teams flexible inspection options.

From inline AOI to benchtop, THT to 3D AI-driven inspection, MEK’s portfolio is built to solve real-world inspection challenges, increase yield, reduce rework, and provide actionable quality insights,  no matter the company size or application.

The Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show is the perfect opportunity to explore these solutions. The team will be on stand C100 (Gen3) to demonstrate the JDz and discuss how MEK’s AOI systems can meet the inspection needs of modern electronics production.
