ESD Materials Testing

ESD Materials, Packaging & Product Testing

Complex Construction

ESD Testing for "hot spots" on ESD materials

3D Material for CubeSats

Qualification Testing before deployment resulted in a Successful Launch!

SEMI E-78 Validation

Ionization Qualification Testing is a critical component of SEMI E-78 Validation

Automated Equipment

Troubleshooting in Low RH

Smart Battery Storage

Protective Packaging for Smart Batteries is long ignored for Safety and Reliability.

Pink Poly

Misuse of "pink poly" for shielding is common for Space & Defense and should always be verified for Compliance before usage.

Surface Resistance Testing

Advanced Polymers must be tested at +/- 12% for harsh environments

DOE Suspect Counterfeit Training

Learning how to detect Non-Compliant and Suspect Counterfeit ESD materials is critical for the Supply Chain

Flexible Electronics

Wearables Verification and Qualification is critical for use on, in or near the Human Body for long term reliability and safety.

Component failures

Advanced Manufacturing without up-to-date Quality Best Practices

Long Term Storage and Handling Issues

Lack of Traceability for Material Integrity

Offshore substitution of OEM Materials without Qualification

Supplier Non-Conformance

Obsolete Industry Practices not keeping pace with Innovation

Class Zero Devices generating issues not experienced in the past

Suspect Counterfeiting or Non-Compliance not identifiable by Incoming Inspection

Web Format training vs. Onsite Hands On and Virtual Hands On Training

Continued use of shelf-life materials in Manufacturing/Assembly

Automatic/Storage Retrieval in Harsh Environments

Contract Assembly Areas without protocols ("Kitting")

"Grey" Market Materials and Lower Prices

Data Center Flooring not "Certified" before purchase

Incoming raw materials for R&D Centers and Internet purchasing

Ionization "oversold" for Controlled/Sterile Environments

Long Term Storage and Austere Environments

Robotics Equipment and RH

Incorrect usage of ESD Test Instrumentation

Workstations, Benches, Handtools and Accessories
