Customer Issues
- Life saving highly-portable ventilator technology with 100X surge demand created immediately due to the Covid-19 pandemic
- Customer’s supply chain and production capacity was insufficient to meet demand for 100,000+ ventilators to be produced in 3-4 months, and a major contract under the Federal Defense Production Act
- Customer’s suppliers traditionally providing lower volume and one-off jobs, lacking engineering expertise, materials and processes to support rapid launch and high- volume production rates needed
- High Stakes: Every day of delay in delivering a ventilator to doctors meant there were potential lives being lost
