Continuous monitoring software for ESD process control systems

Desco Europe distributor Inelco Hunter now offers the Static Management Program (SMP) software, which continuously monitors the ESD process control system throughout all manufacturing stages. The SMP app captures data from SCS workstations, production equipment and any other equipment where ESD events may occur. SMP continuously monitors every event, even down to fine detail, such as a single fan ioniser.

The app can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world. It delivers a real-time picture of critical manufacturing processes, pinpointing areas of concern to help prevent ESD events. Quantifiable data highlights trends, therefore allowing a proactive approach to ESD control while testing and proving the efficiency of the existing ESD process control system.

The ESD risk is present during every stage of manufacture: handling, assembly, testing, shipping and so on. Electronic devices are incredibly sensitive, and damage to components can occur without any sense of static shock to the operative – and will, therefore, go unnoticed. By continuously monitoring ESD events, the app aids the manufacture of dependable products, improves yields, increases automation efficiency and supplies a measurable return on investment.

The company stocks a wide range of Desco Europe ESD products, covering every aspect of ESD protection, from bags and labels to protective clothing and footwear to grounding equipment and work surface mats, ESD tape, and wrist straps.
