KATEK selects MBrain for a competitive edge in manufacturing

MTEK Industry AB proudly announces that KATEK, one of the leading electronics companies in Europe, has selected MBrain, a powerful no-code Modular MES-MOM  platform from MTEK, to accelerate customer value creation and digital transformation in manufacturing.

 

KATEK conducted a search and selection process for a cloud-based manufacturing system (MES/MOM) and has now selected MTEK MBrain®. KATEK starts the roll-out of MBrain at their main manufacturing sites in Memmingen, Germany, and Saedininie, Bulgaria, including MBrain’s Multi-Site functionality.

 

The system will support high-flexibility manufacturing as well as rigorous variant and quality control, traceability, front-line worker support, connectivity of industrial tools and machinery and much more.

 

“KATEK is on a mission to help our customers to stay competitive by offering superior services through the entire product lifecycle, in everything from prototyping to scale manufacturing and assembly as well as after-sales. MBrain is a forward looking system that allows us as leading electronics service provider to gain a competitive edge in manufacturing”, says Marc Achhammer, COO of KATEK Group.

 

The combination of the no-code interface, the cloud-based delivery and the enterprise grade, multi-site, capabilities make MBrain unique in the marketplace. Furthermore, the MTEK team brings valuable manufacturing expertise, speed of execution and an eagerness to win, which is also reflected in the system capabilities and was one of the main reasons KATEK opted for MTEK.

 

“Coming from decades of experience in manufacturing, we are delighted to work with a company with industry leading ambitions, such as KATEK. MTEK went into business to provide its customers with a means to achieve, and maintain, a competitive edge in manufacturing. This is exactly what KATEK stands for, and we are delighted and honored to partner with them”, says Mattias Andersson, CEO and founder of MTEK.
