Electrostatic discharge shoe and surface evaluation

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the memory;
• one or more items of electrostatic dissipative (ESD) footwear in communication with the one or more processors, the one or more items of ESD footwear each item comprising:
• a sole in continuous contact with an ESD floor;
• one or more pressure sensors;
• and
• one or more voltage sensors;
• and
• program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
• continuously obtaining, by the one or more processors, pressure data from the one or more pressure sensors embedded in the one or more items;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the obtained pressure data indicates a pressure level of a pre-determined threshold and the given threshold is sustained for a pre-determined interval of time in a portion of items of the one or more items;
• based on the determining, accessing, by the one or more processors, the one or more voltage sensors of the portion of items and obtaining voltage data from the one or more voltage sensors, wherein the obtaining comprises utilizing the ESD floor as a ground reference;
• and
• validating, by the one or more processors, functionality of the portion of the items and functionality of the ESD floor, based on monitoring the voltage data from the one or more voltage sensors.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processors and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors for performing a method comprising:
• continuously obtaining, by one or more processors, pressure data from one or more pressure sensors embedded in one or more items of electrostatic dissipative (ESD) footwear, the one or more items of ESD footwear each comprising a sole;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the obtained pressure data indicates a pressure level of a pre-determined threshold and the given threshold is sustained for a pre-determined interval of time in a portion of items of the one or more items;
• based on the determining, accessing, by the one or more processors, one or more voltage sensors embedded in each item of the portion of items and obtaining voltage data from the one or more voltage sensors, wherein the obtaining comprises utilizing an ESD floor as a ground reference, and wherein one or more soles of the portion of the items are in contact with the ESD floor during the obtaining;
• and
• validating, by the one or more processors, functionality of the portion of the items and functionality of the ESD floor, based on monitoring the voltage data from the one or more voltage sensors.
