The competition took place at the Innoelectro exhibition and conference. It was third in Europe, after similar events in the United Kingdom and France, and we can say it was a great success. Four Hungarian companies—Silveria Kft., Cabtech Kft., ACSG Kft., and Kuka Kft.—entered a total of 12 participants in the competition.
Four competitors succeeded in assembling the highly complex, truly challenging cable harness assembly into a functional unit within the allotted one hour. The assemblies were inspected by master IPC trainers in accordance with the IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard. The Global Electronics Association awarded cash prizes to the top three finishers.
The final results:
- Krisztina Léránt, ACSG Kft., 496 points (of the maximum 500 points), time: 52 minutes
- Éva Piroska Nagy, Kuka Hungária Kft., 493 points, time: 59:30
- Zoltán Balogh, Kuka Hungária Kft., 490 points, time: 59:56
- Zsófia Rendek-Csehi, CabTec Kft., 488 points, time: 60:00
The judges do not inspect unfinished or non-functional entries in detail, nor give points for them.
We hope there will be a competition at the next Innoelectron as well, and that even more people will demonstrate their skills there. Those who succeeded this time will return to defend their results, while the runners-up will strive to take first place; those who did not succeed this time will aim to do better next year.
We thank all competitors for their participation, and congratulate them on their results and their performance!
