WAI will leverage its wiper motor technology to produce medical motors to address the shortage of ventilators during the pandemic.
Ventilators are a necessity in hospitals dealing with COVID-19 patients. However, major shortages around the world have created a challenge for manufacturers and distributors to meet these increasingly critical demands.
A team of WAI engineers and its global supply chain leadership have already connected with multiple ventilator manufacturing startups. The plan is to convert WAI Wiper Motors into medical motors driving the startups’ innovative ventilator designs. Additionally, WAI’s Wiper Motors provide a widely available and reliable product for the rapid production of ventilators. Rapid production also allows a distribution at a very high speed of deployment to hospitals.
“During this global health crisis, we all need to do what we can to help,” says Ryan Moul, CEO of WAI. “These startups have a great concept to take already existing products in the market to produce large quantities of simple ventilators rapidly. This will save lives, and WAI will do whatever it can to provide our full support.”
