Working with a manufacturer, Turangan co-developed, alpha-tested, and implemented a continuous data collection and real-time ESD monitoring system (including static field, wriststraps, tool grounding, and ionization).

With the same manufacturer and an ionizer company, Turangan also helped to develop a feedback loop system that provides consistently balanced ionization of less than one volt at the proximity sensor.

Benefits of being an ESDA volunteer
