consider in their manufacturing process is to avoid electric static discharges
which can damage delicate parts of hardware accessories.In order to enter the
manufacturing premises, they wear special coat and a cap which is made of
special materials to ground all the charges emitting from human body.After
wearing the “Static Discharge Kit” they go inside a special chamber that had
air showers to remove any dust particles that may have on bodies.And all
the building floors are designed with a standard manner to avoid
electric static discharges too.With this way they are keeping international
standards in manufacturing to provide the customers a quality product.
