About us
A modern warehouse specifically designed for handling ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive products.
Key Features of the ESD Warehouse
ESD Floor/Surface: The floor is a light blue color, which is often a feature of ESD-dissipative or conductive flooring. This type of floor is crucial for grounding personnel and equipment, preventing the buildup of static electricity.
ESD Signage: You can see prominent yellow and black warning labels with the ESD hand/triangle symbol and text like "ESD PROTECTED AREA," "ANTI-PROTECTED AREA," and "ESD SENSITIVE." These signs are clearly visible on the shelving units.
ESD-Safe Containers/Bins: The products are stored in blue bins/totes. This specific shade of blue is frequently used for containers made of static-dissipative plastic, which prevents the containers themselves from generating a static charge that could damage components.
Personnel Attire: The workers are wearing blue ESD lab coats/smocks. These garments are typically made from fabric woven with conductive fibers (often carbon) to provide a path to ground and prevent static charges from building up on the worker's clothing.
Grounding Connections: On some of the larger shelving racks, you can see visible wiring and grounding points (often black or yellow cables connecting to a central grounding system) to ensure all metal shelving and equipment is tied to an earth ground.
Layout and Organization: The warehouse is highly organized with standardized shelving and labeling, essential for efficient and damage-free handling of sensitive electronic components (which are often the products stored in an ESD area).
In short, the facility is designed to keep all components, materials, and people at the same electrical potential (grounded) to ensure that no sudden, uncontrolled discharge of static electricity can occur and destroy the sensitive electronics being stored.
