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 CHALLENGE
A few of the customer’s 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 customer’s 
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.

OUTCOME
The new lab looks world-class and boasts of the latest German technology which has helped the customer’s 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 customer’s Facility Management team and have 
guaranteed them a product with extreme durability and dependability.
