How We Cut Static Fires by 94% Using Conductive Fabrics and IoT Tags
Antistatic FIBC Bags aren’t just sacks—they’re your insurance policy against industrial catastrophes. At VidePak, we’ve woven static control into the fabric of our 220gsm Type C/D hybrid bags, reducing discharge risks by 94% while embedding IoT-ready tracking. The real game-changer? Our RFID-enabled color-coding system that slashes warehouse picking errors by 92%. Let’s explore how we’re redefining safe, smart bulk packaging.
The Static Elimination Revolution: From Spark Hazards to 99.9% Safety
1. Hybrid Conductivity: The 0.1μC Discharge Shield
- Fabric Engineering:
- Type C groundable threads (10⁶–10⁹ Ω resistance)
- Type D corona-resistant fibers (10¹⁰–10¹² Ω breakdown)
- 220gsm 3-layer composite (ISO 21898 certified)
- Performance:
- 0.1μC maximum discharge energy (IEC 61340-4-4 tested)
- 94% risk reduction in ATEX Zone 2/22 areas
- Certification:
- ATEX 2014/34/EU directive compliance
Chemical Industry Impact:
A German polymer plant eliminated static fires entirely after switching to our hybrid FIBCs.
2. Smart Warehouse Integration: The 3-Second Inventory Revolution
- Features:
- UHF RFID tags (EPC Gen2 V2.1 protocol)
- 4-color coded stripes (ANSI Z535.1 standards)
- UV-printed batch/lot numbers
- Performance:
- 3-second pallet scans via handheld readers
- 98.7% WMS (Warehouse Management System) accuracy
- Certification:
- GS1 EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 certification
Logistics Breakthrough:
A Brazilian sugar mill reduced dispatch errors from 12% to 0.9% using our smart FIBCs.
