Electronics, Heart Valves, Ventilators...
Perishable Pig Hearts Get Police Escort.
A shipment of pig hearts used for human heart valves was delayed in Iowa on its
way to California. There was one last flight from Des Moines but it was close
to 100 miles to the airport. The Aeronet Expediter knew that if he was to make
it in time he could not make the drive at normal speeds.
The Aeronet Solution:
Aeronet determined that it would be better to work with
the law than to break it to make the flight. The Iowa Highway patrol was
informed of the situation and escorted Aeronet at high speed and sirens
blasting all the way to the airport.
The Result:
The pig hearts made the flight and arrived in time to
be converted to heart valves in Irvine California.
Babies Can't Wait.
Baby Ventilators are used for helping children breathe when complications set
in upon birth or in multiple births. The problem is that it is hard to predict
when and where one will be needed.
The Aeronet Solution:
Aeronet placed ventilators at 100 strategically located
sites across the United States. Once an emergency is declared, Aeronet would
locate the unit closest to the hospital and dispatch it immediately for
delivery. After the emergency is handled, Aeronet picks up the unit for storage
or refurbishing.
The Result:
Setting up the units and locations in advance, allowed
Aeronet to literally save lives. All the trained Aeronet personnel that have
been involved in these critical situations will tell you that although it can
be an emotionally draining experience, they are proud to be a part of the
process.
The Game Must Go On
Video games are often so successful that manufactures often can't keep up with
the demand. That was the case for one of the leaders in the category that
realized its San Juan, Puerto Rico plant was in danger of shutting down because
some critical components were stuck in transit. Several ocean containers full
of the replacement product were delayed in a Texas harbor and would not make it
to Puerto Rico for several more days.
The Aeronet Solution:
In less than 24 hours from getting the emergency call,
Aeronet unloaded one of the containers from the ship and transported it
directly by air to the plant.
The Result:
The plant was able to remain in operation until the
rest of the cargo arrived by sea.
