They had developed a method to improve the efficiency during quality control of powder-coated products: flying sparks can help determine, whether a product is defective. Electrified plates slide over a coated product. Sparks result if the coating has developed spots / pits. This helps in identifying defects very easily.

With this idea, they made it to the Federal Competition, which will take place in Essen from 13th – 16th May 2010. Hearty congratulation and good luck at the event!
