No RMAs for Medical Device, Space Platforms and Aerospace & Defense for Ultrasensitive ESD DevicesTM
Today's Disk Drive Expertise Combined with Aerospace & Defense Know How Outdistance Telecommunication Practice of the 1990s
An Architect, Civil Engineer, General Contractor or flooring subcontractor may not be knowledgeable in the most recent and advanced specifications for ultra-sensitive devices in a Class 0 manufacturing facility. This will include the installation of flooring for data centers, call centers, border patrol facilities, clean rooms, sterile environments for the medical device sector as well as pharmaceutical drug delivery operations.
RMV Technology Group excels in the unique arena of electrostatic mitigation on ultra-sensitive devices and materials with the utilization of ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe protocols that reflect the most current ANSI/ISO/ASTM standards, together with the most advanced and seriously invested validation equipment that reflects real time events with computer interfaced software for the manufacturing engineers to view online and in plain sight.
For validation of both static dissipative and conductive flooring.
RMV engineering and technologists will not only recommend and perform assessment/evaluations for grounding, resistance to a groundable point, point to point resistance, resistance in combination with a person and voltage in combination with a person, but also will map the flooring performance to various voltage levels.
Static Control flooring can represent a capital expenditure so it is important to outline clear-cut benchmarks for the flooring contractor and installation company.
RMV Technology can specify requirements and evaluate a flooring company's product before and after installation.
