ESD protection in production – why it is crucial for modern work environments
Share
Static electricity may seem harmless, but in production environments, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is an invisible hazard that can lead to damage to sensitive electronics and equipment. Understanding ESD and implementing the right protection is crucial to creating a safe, efficient and sustainable production.
What is ESD and how does it affect production?
ESD, or static discharge, occurs when materials are charged through friction and then suddenly discharged. In industry, even small discharges – far below what a human can feel – can cause serious failures in electronic components. In production, this poses a risk of quality problems, complaints and expensive downtime.
ESD protection for production – complete solutions for safe working environments
Protecting production against ESD requires a well-thought-out, holistic approach. It's not just about individual products, but about creating a complete ESD-safe work environment. Some important components are:
-
ESD-safe work tables – with conductive surfaces that are grounded
-
Antistatic floor mats – conduct away charges
-
ESD-approved chairs – with the right material and contact with the floor
-
Tools and storage for ESD environments
-
Personal equipment , such as wristbands and ESD shoes
