Introduction
Welcome to the final installment of our blog series on modernizing ESD controls! We've explored the basics of ESD, the science behind charge measurement, and the technology that allows the StatIQ Band to measure body voltage and identify ESD events. Now we'll discuss the broader implications of this innovation and how the StatIQ Network can transform ESD protection practices across industries.
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments, particularly those handling sensitive electronics, ensuring robust ESD controls is no longer just an operational need - it’s a business imperative. At IONA Tech, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing ESD controls with our cutting-edge StatIQ technologies. From on-demand diagnostics to constant monitoring, our solutions offer unparalleled protection against ESD-related damage.
ESD Diagnostics Simplified
Walking through an ESD-protected area with the StatIQ Band is like measuring every nook and cranny with both a Walking Body Voltage Test and a Static Field Meter at the same time!
Electronics companies invest hundreds of thousands to create ESD-protected areas and $2,000 per day to have ESD auditors inspect a 6-foot radius at a time. The StatIQ Band allows you to save thousands in auditor costs and untold sums in defective electronics product yield.
Our team at IONA Tech has demonstrated the StatIQ band in hundreds of electronics facilities. In every single case, we’ve uncovered lapses in ESD control.
Whether you're an expert in ESD controls or someone looking to improve your understanding, the StatIQ Band empowers you to pinpoint sources of unwanted static charge instantly.
Constant Monitoring: The StatIQ Network Advantage
While diagnostics are essential, the real revolution happens when ESD control becomes continuous. That’s where the StatIQ Network comes into play. Integrating this network with StatIQ Bands worn by personnel across your facility brings unprecedented real-time monitoring capabilities.
Through the StatIQ Dashboard, which can be hosted On-prem or in the Cloud, QC managers can monitor body voltage and ESD events remotely. The system will send alerts via email or SMS the moment any user surpasses safe thresholds, allowing for immediate corrective action. By practicing a proactive, stop-the-line approach, you can avoid costly failures before they occur, implementing a Kanban-style quality control system for ESD mitigation.
Moreover, the StatIQ Network provides a digital trail of compliance. You now have data-driven proof that no ESD events have compromised your valuable assets—an invaluable assurance for stakeholders, auditors, and clients.
Conclusion: Closing the Loop on ESD Control
The combination of the StatIQ Band for diagnostics and the StatIQ Network for continuous monitoring gives facilities their first real chance to close the loop on ESD control. Whether you’re identifying hidden charge sources or tracking real-time voltage levels across your workforce, our solutions help you safeguard your operations from ESD-related risks.
At IONA Tech, we believe in empowering teams to take control of their ESD environments with tools that are easy to use, effective, and forward-thinking. Thanks for tuning in, and we hope you will start protecting your assets and optimizing your operations with the most comprehensive ESD management system available today.
