SMT technology in university education – TELL’s donation for the engineers of the future

A donation that brings industrial-level knowledge into the university

Thanks to the donated machines, students will not be working with outdated methods, but will acquire up-to-date technology. SMT technology has become one of the defining manufacturing processes in the electronics industry, and the experience gained here can be directly applied in the professional world.

Building on nearly three centuries of educational tradition, the University of Miskolc has become the leading higher education center in northern Hungary. With eight faculties, more than eleven thousand students, and recognition in international rankings, its mission has always been to ensure that scientific theory and practical application go hand in hand.

“In today’s innovation race, close, mutually beneficial cooperation between universities and economic actors plays a decisive role. The real beneficiaries of all this are the students, who graduate with up-to-date, versatile knowledge and enter a labor market competing for highly qualified professionals,” emphasizes Prof. Dr. Zita Horváth, Rector.

Through SMT equipment, students can gain insight into the entire electronics production chain: PCB design, solder paste application, automatic component placement, soldering, and quality control. This serves not only educational purposes but also models an industrial environment.

From prototype production to theses – faster, more efficient development

The automated machines significantly accelerate prototype production needed for research projects and student work. The equipment also enables new research projects, such as linking electromagnetic compatibility with manufacturing technology.

In the future, the University of Miskolc may also offer prototype production or small-series manufacturing to its industrial partners. This opens up new revenue opportunities and fosters even closer ties between the university and industry.

TELL Software Hungaria Kft., a company present in nearly sixty countries with its security and remote monitoring solutions, is demonstrating both social responsibility and commitment to the education of future engineers through this donation.

The new SMT placement machines are more than just equipment: they represent an investment that provides students with marketable knowledge, opens industrial opportunities for the university, and ensures the long-term strengthening of the professional talent pipeline for TELL.
