Online Live ESD Monitoring System, a good tool to measure the effectiveness of an ESD compliance and its efficacy in improving yield, provides 100% monitoring for both the operator and the work surface. This unit provides continuous monitoring of user wearing a wrist strap and also functions to ensure the grounding integrity of ESD protected work surfaces. This device will continuously monitor the user until the wrist strap or work surface becomes dysfunctional or unsafe according to accepted industry standards (S20.20-2014/IEC 61340-5-1), at which point the monitor will issue an audible signal notifying the user of a problem. The ESD Online Continuous Monitoring System also verifies whether an outlet ground is good or bad.

Equipment, furniture, clothing and other common items in today’s workplace can store thousands of volts in
electrostatic charge But only 25 electrostatic volts are required to permanently harm an integrated
circuit (IC's). The expenses can be devastating when SMT businesses fail to take into account the risk
because they are unable to see them.
In the article, The “Real” Cost of ESD Damage it is noted that ESD losses are between half a billion to
five billion dollars every year! While businesses continue to overlook these technical issues in order to
cut spending, the problem continues to worsen. It is possible that if the topic were better understood,
the risks would not be overlooked every year during the budget review.


The ANSI/ESD S20.20 has become the industry standard in every high-tech industry, from telecommunications
and aerospace to automotive and electronics. Any business can use it to ensure that working environments are
protected from charges of 100v or more.
Implementing an ESD control program is vital for businesses that need to reduce or eliminate component
failures and increase the quality of their products.
An ESD program offers the following benefits:

Introducing an intelligent AI-powered PPE monitoring solution that helps industries enforce personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance in real time - reducing risk, enhancing safety, and achieving regulatory compliance effortlessly.
