Abstract

In systems, computer program products, and methods for monitoring electrostatic discharge (ESD) fault conditions and controlling manufacturing processes on an assembly line, each ESD monitored station in the assembly line is provided with at least one ESD management device. Predetermined ESD fault conditions may be used to automatically stop a manufacturing process at an ESD monitored station. Upon occurrence of an ESD fault condition an ESD fault notification message may be sent identifying the ESD monitored station, the nature of the ESD fault condition, and whether the manufacturing process at the ESD monitored station is stopped. The ESD fault notification message may be sent to a mobile communications device and the manufacturing process at the ESD monitored device may be controlled based on a reply received from the mobile communications device.
