The main purpose of this competition is to introduce hand soldering, an important skill for the electronics industry, and support outstanding technicians at the global level. We would also like to express our gratitude to Productronica, the exhibition organizer that welcomed us in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>We celebrate the cooperation of the champions from various countries and their affiliated companies who have traveled a long distance to participate in this grand event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Determining the best of the best in hand soldering&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nThis time, 10 champions were born from China, Vietnam, Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, Estonia, France, Germany, and Hungary. Among them, there are four female and six male champions.<br \/>\nThey had to complete the assembly of a highly complex circuit board with 129 surface-mounted components, through-hole components, and over 200 solder joints, including tiny components such as 0402 and 0603, on a brand new printed circuit board. The evaluation criteria were based on the highest quality according to IPC Class 3 and the completion of this assembly in the shortest possible time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"02\" class=\"c-box\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-title\">Introduction of Participating Countries and Participants<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<table class=\"table-bordered table-fixed table-fullwidth\">\n<thead class=\"thead-dark\">\n<tr>\n<th>Country<\/th>\n<th>Name<\/th>\n<th>Affiliation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>China Representative<\/th>\n<td>Hongying Guo<\/td>\n<td>Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Hungary Representative<\/th>\n<td>Zsombok Peter Richard<\/td>\n<td>BHE Bonn Hungary Elektronikai kft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Estonia Representative<\/th>\n<td>Timmo Antso<\/td>\n<td>Scanfill Estonia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>China Representative<\/th>\n<td>Xianchao Wang<\/td>\n<td>Shenyang Railway Signal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Vietnam Representative<\/th>\n<th>Van Tuan Nguyen<\/th>\n<th>Spartronics Vietnam<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Germany Representative<\/th>\n<th>Eliane Chesnais<\/th>\n<th>Thales Etrelles, France<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>UK Representative<\/th>\n<th>Justyna Mikolajczyk<\/th>\n<p>      <\n\nth>Zettlex, UK<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>France Representative<\/th>\n<th>Manuella Annani<\/th>\n<th>Dassault Aviation, France<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Japan Representative<\/th>\n<th>Masaki Nakamichi<\/th>\n<th>Panasonic Corporation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Germany Representative<\/th>\n<th>Pauline Duval<\/th>\n<th>Thales Etrelles, France<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div id=\"03\" class=\"c-box\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-title\">3rd Place Announcement<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h3 class=\"heading-title\">Xianchao Wang, Shenyang Railway Signal, China Representative<\/h3>\n<p>Xianchao Wang, the champion from China, performed the work at the workstation and achieved a score of 550 points out of the maximum 558 points with a time of exactly 60 minutes, securing an impressive 3rd place!<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\n<div class=\"_image align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.japanunix.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2866-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"04\" class=\"c-box\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-title\">Runner-up Announcement<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<h3 class=\"heading-title\">Pauline Duval, Thales Etrelles France, Germany Representative<\/h3>\n<p>Pauline Duval, who won the championship in the German competition the previous day, achieved the runner-up position in the world championship as well.
