MESSUNG AND ESD LAB SOLUTIONS
Messung is well-known in the industry for
providing world-class quality ESD lab solutions.
They are the pioneers in the industry for
bringing the patented volume-ESD technology to
India through their products like ESD
workstations, ergonomic ESD chairs, ESD storage
racks and trolleys. Messung is also well-known
in the industry for providing special application
labs such as RF labs, Calibration labs, Testing
labs and many more using the volume-ESD
technology. With the use of this technology,
customers are guaranteed ESD safe properties for
a lifetime. Messung has developed upgraded labs
of numerous clients using this technology and the
results have been phenomenal every time.

THE CLIENT
Messung Global Connect has been a valuable
supplier of superior industrial solutions to one
of the leading multinationals in the automotive
electronics segment. Messung has proven results
in almost 8 of their sites across India be it
their production centre in Nasik or Electronics
RD hardware lab in Bangalore, Messung has
catered to their varying requirements for
industrial lab solutions. From providing a
complete electronics lab setup with superior
German technology ESD workstations and chairs to
material handling solutions like ESD storage
racks and ESD trolleys, Messung has delivered as
per the requirements, every time.

THE CHALLENGE
A few of the customers teams in Bengaluru are
tasked with the testing of ECU (Electronic Engine
Control Unit), a component which has application
in automotive electronics. An ECU controls the
fuel supply, air management, fuel injection and
ignition and is also able to control the exhaust
system as well as to integrate transmission and
vehicle functions. Thus it is the central
controller and heart of the engine management
system. The criticality of this electronic
component and the intricacy of its architecture
mandated that the teams perform this operation
within a monitored Electro-static dissipative
area. It is very crucial for this team to
monitor the ESD performance of all the equipment
and furniture inside the lab and ensure the
quality and output rate of the final parts.

PROBLEMS WITH CLIENT'S EXISTING SETUP
The teams were facing some issues with the
existing setup, which was as per the guidelines
but did not house the latest technologies.
Their current setup of ESD workstations was
inefficient to work on as the workspace was
occupied by the heavy testing instruments which
were kept on the table top. The ESD chairs were
non-ergonomic and working efficiently for long
hours proved to be a tedious task. The safety
standards set by the facility management team was
also the main aspect to consider for the lab
setup as prioritized by the Project Manager. The
storage of wire harnessing cables and load boxes
in the existing setup was also a crucial aspect
for the end-user. As multiple project teams from
multiple locations work in these labs, there is a
requirement for categorically storing the wire
harnessing cables according to individual project
teams requirement. The existing setup did not
allow for this categorization and there was a
risk of stored items getting mixed up.

MESSUNG'S SOLUTION
Once the challenges were identified by the
customers team, they approached Messung for
providing the new-age ESD lab solutions.
Messung undertook a complete overhaul of their
existing labs by providing advanced technology
ESD workstations, ESD storage systems and
fully-ergonomic ESD chairs. All these products
involve special ESD material which incorporates
the volume-ESD technology.

ABOUT VOLUME-ESD TECHNOLOGY
Volume-ESD means embedding carbon polymers in the
base material used to manufacture the ESD
product. This makes the entire worktop or storage
shelves conductive with dissipative lamination on
both the sides of the workstation. The
properties for discharging the charge are
uniformly present throughout the volume of the
material as compared to its presence only on the
contact surface in traditional technology.

MESSUNG'S SOLUTION
In the first stage of operation, the requirements
and the existing set-up were analysed. In the
following stage, solutions in the form of 3D
designs of complete lab layout which included the
ESD racks, ESD workstations chairs was provided
against the challenges posed by the
customer. Messung provided a special workstation
which incorporates the 19 inch rack system
mounted horizontally on the table for instrument
integration. This system is called a cockpit
and it made the complete workspace area available
for testing work and helped in de-cluttering the
worktable. With the new cockpit system, all
the instruments were integrated inside it and the
connections were provided on the front face of
the table. The data from the instruments was
displayed on the monitor connected to the table
ergonomically with the help of a monitor arm.
This improved the product which also complied
with all the safety conditions of the customer
and was cleared by their Facility Management
team.

MESSUNG'S SOLUTION
Other ESD workstations also offered provision for
accessories like fume extractor, soldering
stations, ESD bins, magnifying glass etc., all
placed ergonomically so that it increases
efficiency of the employees.   The workstations
were also certified as per IEC 61340-5-1 ESD
standards which guaranteed good quality to the
customer. The storage issue was also resolved by
designing custom ESD racks and ESD trolleys. All
these products involve special ESD material which
incorporates volume-ESD technology.
11
OUTCOME
The new lab looks world-class and boasts of the
latest German technology which has helped the
customers team in a multitude of ways. The
primary goal, which was to improve the ESD
performance of the lab setup, was achieved with
this new technology. The advanced ergonomically
designed ESD workstations with cockpit and ESD
chairs allow the team to work with better
efficiency than before. Overall the new labs
satisfy and exceed all the requirements laid down
by the customers Facility Management team and
have guaranteed them a product with extreme
durability and dependability.

CONCLUSION
Messung is proud to partner with Automotive and
other sectors to provide stylish and world-class
workplace technology solutions in India.
Messung's proven expertise in designing and
installing complete lab setups of global
standards, is complemented by their own range of
ergonomic Volume ESD laboratory worktables and
ESD safe chairs as per IEC 61340-5-1 safety
standards. This makes Messung the go-to partner
for EPAs and electronics laboratories across
industries.
