Donation for future engineers

SMT technology is now a key manufacturing process in the electronics industry. By donating state-of-the-art equipment, the company is helping students to encounter industrial conditions during their studies and acquire knowledge that they can immediately put to use in the labor market.

“It is a special and rare occasion for the corporate sector to contribute to the university’s educational and research activities with a donation.

TELL sets an example of social responsibility and invests in the training of future engineers, which is an exemplary and important gesture, as it benefits not only the university but also the entire domestic economy,”

emphasized Prof. Dr. Zita Horváth, Rector of the University of Miskolc, at the ceremonial handover. She highlighted that close, mutually beneficial cooperation between the university and economic actors, led by the technical faculties, plays a decisive role in today’s innovation competition. The real beneficiaries of all this are the students, who enter the world of work with up-to-date, versatile knowledge, where competition for high-quality professionals is fierce.

Péter Gáll, managing director of TELL Software Hungaria Kft., which is present in nearly 60 countries with its security technology and remote monitoring solutions, said that this is the first time they have donated technological equipment. The machines donated have served flawlessly for 18 years, helping to produce hundreds of thousands of products.

“We want to share our success. It is important for us to support education in ‘live operation’ and contribute to students gaining a higher level of experience,” he explained. SMT equipment allows students to learn about the entire electronics manufacturing chain: printed circuit board design, solder paste application, automatic component placement, soldering, and quality control, which not only serves educational purposes but also models an industrial environment.

The director of the Center for Higher Education and Industrial Cooperation, Prof. Dr. Béla Viskolcz, said that thanks to the machines received from TELL, a new area of innovation is opening up, and prototype production required for research projects and student work can be significantly accelerated. The equipment also enables the launch of new innovation projects, such as combining electromagnetic compatibility and manufacturing technology.

SMT placement machines are not just equipment that contributes to the success of a particular field, but also open up new revenue opportunities for the University of Miskolc, said Prof. Dr. Zoltán Siménfalvi, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology. According to his assessment, this creates an even closer relationship between scientific research workshops and economic actors.
