What does ESD protection actually have in common with a frozen pizza?
27.3.2024
ESD experts love both, a delicious pizza and safe ESD protection! Funnily enough, they even have something in common.
A consistent ESD protection concept aims to minimize risks and ensure that electrostatic discharges are dissipated in a controlled manner. The concept can be thought of as a chain whose sequence of activities, processes and facilities aims to maintain controlled and stable ESD protection.
An effective ESD protection chain begins with raising employee awareness through ESD training and instruction, continues with incoming goods and ends with outgoing goods. Monitoring and maintenance through controls, strict quality standards, new technologies and also through communication so that all parties involved take the necessary measures to comply with the operating procedures.
An interrupted chain leads to a loss of quality; this damage ranges from immediate functional failures to latent defects that may only occur after a certain period of time.
And what exactly does ESD protection have to do with frozen pizza?
Here too, a reliable sequence - the so-called cold chain - is a must for a safe end product, just like a well thought-out ESD protection concept in ESD protection.
If you need support with the development of your ESD protection concept or with other ESD topics, our sales force will be happy to accept your invitation to a pizza meeting.
