Micro-controller based solutions have a distinct advantage in cost and ease-of-maintenance over PLC based solutions.

iDA’s Vision Statement is to “Increase industrial product quality and productivity through IDA (automation)”

In support of the Vision are the following Strategic Objectives:
• Become the market leader in providing integrated and customized ESD testing equipment
• Develop innovative ideas and solutions for the customers and be innovative in everything we do
• Expand iDA’s product range

iDA has the capability to build custom designed PCB to meet customer’s special requirements. iDA also builds controllers and develops software for used in data-logging, data capturing/acquisition and reporting. The products developed by iDA are competitive in the market and has allowed the company to serve a variety of industrial customers. The majority of iDA’s customers are MNC in the semiconductor industries.

One of the products offered by iDA is the ESD tester, integrated with barrier gates (turnstile and flapgate). This product has been installed in many semiconductor factories. The ESD tester checks the personnel to ensure that all ESD protective apparels are properly worn and that they are working correctly in grounding electro-static charges. Only then will the personnel be allowed to enter an ESD sensitive area.

At the production floor, the Workstation Ground Monitoring and the Operator Continuous Ground Monitoring are used to monitor and to ensure proper grounding of the workstations and the production operators. To develop the ESD market, iDA has made alliances with companies that distributes ESD equipment and supplies. Although iDA’s ESD testing and monitoring devices are widely used by most of iDA’s customers, over 60% of iDA’s revenues actually comes from custom automation solutions.
