ESD prevention for car audio systems manufacturers

Dry fog control ESD risk to maintain a non-defective product rate close to 100%

Car audio manufacturers must maintain a wide variety of production to meet the needs of OEM companies. Therefore, even a small amount of defects can have a large impact on the entire manufacturing process.

In order to maintain a non-defective product rate close to 100%, it is necessary to constantly maintain the process in a constant environment. A stable humidity level helps maintain good process conditions.

For a producer of car audio systems, like any electronics manufacturer, providing 100% quality is essential. In order to achieve that, the factory has to ensure good working condition for the production to run smoothly all year round. One of the criteria is the humidity level that needs to be kept at a certain level to prevent electrostatic discharges (ESD).

When ESD occurred, the customer was having the following issues:

- Defects rate of product increase

- Tips mounting errors increase in SMT process

- Quality of the end product reduce

- Lost in revenue from a high defect rate

- Repairs cost increase

Dry Fog humidification system sprays a non-wetting fog that humidifies indoor environments. It is the best solution for a factory that can’t afford to have water puddles and water droplets on its devices.

Dry fog humidification system was installed to be used 24 hours, 7 days a week in an automatic mode. Therefore, it ensured a full production process without any disturbance of ESD.
