FAQ: What is a Mission-critical Environment in the Context of ESD Flooring?
Mission-critical electronics represent equipment and systems used in a variety of sectors involving tasks that that must never be compromised or rendered inoperable.
These environments usually involve 24/7 operations where the electronic systems monitor and enable critical functions, ranging from responding to emergency calls in a 9-1-1 police dispatch center to operating the command and controls of a nuclear power plant.
Electrostatic discharge is a well-documented problem in the assembly, repair, and operation of electronic systems. The installation of static-control (ESD) flooring in mission-critical environments is a standard operating procedure in the construction of data centers, control rooms, emergency public safety operations, flight control areas, and numerous other electronic environments where continuous operation is an absolute requirement.
