NEW-AGE ESD WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN R&D CENTRES

NEW-AGE ESD WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN R&D CENTRES

Electronics manufacturing, testing and quality control need test and measuring equipment and ergonomic environments that are flexible, versatile and safe.

Messung brings the future of modern workplace systems for R&D labs, testing labs, calibration stations, manufacturing departments, assembly stations and training centres spread across the Indian electronic industry.

Messung’s innovative, modular & customised laboratory furniture systems are designed to improve efficiency, safety and comfort. Their world-class ESD workstations, ESD rack storage, industrial work tables, lab tables with drawers and other workplace and storage solutions enable users to optimise their work environment for enhanced productivity.

Messung also offer ergonomic ESD chairs, workstation chairs and laboratory chairs that are proven in tough industrial and critical cleanroom applications.

They are trusted for enhancing user comfort, safety and health - to benefit your most valuable resource: your people.

Let’s see what Messung Workplace Technology has done for a leading multinational recently.

REVAMPING CISCO’S BGA-REWORK HARDWARE LAB,BANGALORE The Cisco Global Development Centre in Bangalore is the largest outside the US. It houses Cisco's Research and Development (R&D), IT, Services and customer support teams and develops disruptive business models for Cisco to create new go-to-market channels, markets, processes and technologies for emerging markets.

Handling electrostatic charge is something Cisco takes very seriously as any failure due to static charge can harm the final product that gets manufactured or tested and in-turn affects Cisco’s brand equity and image. All areas within Cisco which handle electronics components or any static charge susceptible items have been declared as ESD (Electrostatic discharge) Zones, and guidelines with proper auditing measures have been drafted for employees to follow if they enter such areas. Among these guidelines is the compulsory use of ESD workstations and ESD chairs. The veracity of the static charge discharge ability of these ESD workstations and ESD task chairs is monitored by an internal ESD testing team.

For years, Cisco's team of BGA-rework hardware lab was using local-made ESD workstations installed with ESD sheet surface in their re-work laboratories.

However, they required constant upgradation of technology. This made the team look for the latest technology in the market; they were in need of a customizable product.

Another aspect which Cisco’s rework hardware lab was facing was the storage of the reworked components and equipment. As per the procedures, all the storage of any ESDS components and equipment needed to be in an ESD-safe rack. Cisco was using the standard metal racks available in the market. This option also needed to be upgraded and the team decided to incorporate ESD rackstorage.

Messung partnered with Cisco to upgrade their labs to help increase productivity and efficiency.Messung developed the complete world-class quality ESD lab for Cisco’s BGA-rework hardware team. This includes the ESD workstations, ESD chairs and ESD storage racks which use the patented volume-ESD technology brought to India by Messung. The station, ESD bins, monitor arm, LED tube, filing board for keeping testing instruments.

ABOVE VOLUME ESD

Volume ESD makes the entire worktop or storage shelves conductive with dissipative lamination on both the sides of the workstation. The properties for discharging the charge are uniformly present throughout the volume of the material as compared to its presence only on the contact surface in traditional technology.

This technology guarantees lifetime fail-safe ESD properties of the product which means that the chances of ESD failure are negligible; thus helping Cisco to save costs in repairs, warranties and replacements of products.

Moreover, Messung's ESD workbenches, ESD Chairs and ESD storage racks are tested as per IEC 61340-5-1 safety standards, which are mandatory for all international quality Electronic manufacturing and R&D facilities.

Messung's ESD work tables, chairs and storage racks exceeded the expectations of Cisco’s internal testing team. The indigenously designed and manufactured ESD workstations, chairs and racks for electronics laboratories have ensured consistent, long-lasting ESD properties and fewer electro-static failures in Cisco's re-work labs. The world-class looks and specifications of Messung's ESD tables have transformed the labs, causing work efficiency, productivity and safety to rise substantially.

CONCLUSION Messung Workplace Technology manufactures innovative, modular & customised laboratory furniture systems, and intelligent test & measurement solutions that are designed to provide safety and improve efficiency while offering user comfort.

Messung also offers expert capabilities for designing and executing laboratory or training centre setups. ESD products, testing equipment & instrumentation, computers, storage systems, harmonics-free power supplies, server rooms with UPS and air-conditioners - whatever the customer needs as per their applications, Messung delivers the complete infrastructure from concept to commissioning.
