When You Need a BeeVee?

In PCBA Manufacturing Company....

1. When your process yield is NOT 100% or never achieve Six Sigma, you need a rework process. Inside this process, debuging. To get actual defect instead of tester's failure symptom.

For simple boards, this process is very easy. But for big board that hundreds or thousands components mounted, it is NOT easy at all!

BeeVee help you to locate components / devices. You can also trace short circuit location posibility by highlighting components, traces and vias.

Beevee help you to find connected components from a component.

2. Your customer change pcba layout?
With BeeVee, your Process Engineer, Quality Engineer, SMT-AOI Programmer get the differences QUICKLY. BeeVee can compare them! How many times will be saved, huh?

3. Your BOSS ask you, where is the location of a component?
BeeVee is not machine dependent. It is can be run everywhere. ICT, AOI, 5DX, SMT, or your desktop computer. It is a small application that can be copied to everywhere.
