ESD events can cause very expensive catastrophic and latent failures. It has been estimated that these failures cost industry approximately $5 billion per year. Many times failures are mysterious, and it's cost prohibitive to perform exhaustive failure analysis to determine exactly what really occurred. Latent defects in products already manufactured are particularly troublesome and expensive to address. Many customers assume mysterious failures are ESD related. In addition to helping customers qualify for additional business opportunities, an optimum ESD control system will improve production yields, product quality, and worker productivity. While our customers are dealing with ESD issues, they are simultaneously implementing continuous quality improvements, changing production methods, and upgrading equipment. It is impossible to ascertain what portion of the improvements should be ascribed to the ESD control program. Maintaining an optimum ESD control system is an ongoing process. Every day, the challenge increases as new product development cycles and electronic components shrink, and the sensitivity to ESD events increase. ESD control systems that were adequate in the past, may very well need to be improved. The benefits of an optimum ESD control system should greatly outweigh the costs. Most successful customers work to improve their ESD control system to the level that exceeds their customers' minimum requirements. Continually monitoring and improving their ESD control systems goes along with their other quality efforts. In this way, we can play an import role in helping customers continually improve their production yields, product quality, and worker productivity. Although a complete and compliant system may involve a higher dollar outlay, industry experience shows it to be the lowest cost of static control. We support your profitable sales growth by the design of your ESD control system, in assisting in training your personnel, and in assisting you in obtaining compliance.
