SMT China Magazine Announces the Winners of the 11th SMT China VISION Awards

ASM Assembly Systems Takes Home the Top Prize: the VA Prime Award

SHANGHAI—25 April 2017—SMT China announces the winners of The 11th SMT China VISION Awards at NEPCON China.

There were 26 awards presented with 13 products received VISION Awards, and 10 products received VA Excellent Awards. In addition, Chinese Achievement Awards were presented to DONGGUAN ANDA Automatic Equipment and GuangDong Pangus lnformation Technology whose products attained the overall highest scores among all entries from Chinese companies.

The VA Prime Award was presented to ASM Assembly Systems, whose product attained the overall highest score among all entries.

The SMT China VISION Awards recognize the people and products within the surface mount industry that serve as benchmarks of excellence. The nominated products are judged by a panel of well-known SMT experts and dedicated SMT readers specifically on their innovativeness, and their contributions in helping the downstream industry to reduce costs, improve product quality, increase production efficiencies, enhance reliability, ensure worker safety, protect the environment, and produce its overall impact.

The Vision Awards program phase two: SMT China readers ranked their top three picks—the three award-winning products of this year's vision awards that they felt (1) reflect the most innovativeness in design and (2) could impact their assembly floor and, ultimately, their jobs the most. The top three vote-getters each received a SMT China VA Readers' Choice Award.

All the Reader-Choice nominations received, and the winners are listed in the below. It will also be announced in the June/July issue of SMT China magazine.

The Vision Awards program is the only international accreditation for China's electronics manufacturing industry with participation and support from international and domestic suppliers serving the industry in China, and with the winners being judged by technical experts in the field and senior executives from the downstream industry in China. The awards presentation has been held in China for 11 years since 2007.
