Third "German ESD Network live" in Oberkochen

Third "German ESD Network live" in Oberkochen 27.3.2019

Four companies, just as many presentations and lots of know-how. Every year, the ESD Network live is a new meeting place for specialists in the field of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Embedded in the extraordinary ambience of the Zeiss Forum Oberkochen, the experts spoke about current standards in ESD protection and ventured a look into the future.

A special highlight of this forum was the museum tour through the Carl Zeiss Museum. Here, the participants not only learned a lot about optics, but also had time for a little professional exchange. In addition, a technical exhibition provided further input on the topics of EPA, workplace, storage, packaging and transport as well as access control and employee training.

The following topics were presented by the speakers:

  • Organizational measures for ESD protection in manufacturing, e.g. Share Point

- Arben Mazlomaj - Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH

  • ESD tester and active implants

-Harald Funk · Conti Temic microelectronic GmbH

  • Overview of the ESD series of standards, current status and future prospects

-Markus Keinath - KEINATH Electronic GmbH

  • ESD access concepts in assembly

-Karl-Heinz Vandrey - Carl Zeiss Meditec AG

The ESD Network live is worth the trip every year. Experts from the field of ESD protection report on the latest findings and take a look into the future!

We would be very pleased to welcome you at our next ESD Expert Day 2020.

With the very best partnership greetings

Your German ESD Network
