Cutting-edge
technology is merging with medical services to create hi-tech equipment to aid
in patient diagnosis and this technical equipment demands professional
transportation and installation. MRI and Cat scanning machines are examples of
the type of equipment that needs final mile delivery and installation services,
which are supplied by the white glove logistics company.
What is Final
Mile Delivery?
When a large piece
of technical equipment is ready to be installed, the manufacturer would deliver
the consignment to a location near to the final destination, and with medical delivery from Rhenus High Tech, the equipment is carefully manoeuvred
into position and secured. This is not the end of the contract, as the white
glove team will configure the apparatus and after some testing, the equipment
is ready for use and is handed over to the customer.
Fitness
Equipment
Next time you are
at the gym working out, all that complex equipment had to be transported and
installed, a task for the white glove logistics team, who are
manufacturer-approved to work on the equipment. Running and rowing machines,
weightlifting apparatus and other types of equipment all require specialised
handling. Click here for information about alternative medicine, which is becoming very popular.
Reverse
Logistics
Let’s say that an
MRI scanner suddenly malfunctions and the technicians are not able to repair
the equipment on site, which means the white glove team would return the
equipment to the manufacturer for repairs, and it might be required to
dismantle and dispose of the equipment. A piece of equipment might be resold
and it needs to be transported and installed at a new location, which is a job
for the white glove technicians.
Dental
Equipment
Hi-tech dental
robotics are now being seen in state-of-the-art dental clinics around the
world, plus the drilling and lighting equipment is also specialised and all of
this type of equipment is the domain on the white glove logistics firm. The
technicians would be expected to attend workshops on how to handle their
equipment and one technician would usually restrict themself to a certain type
of equipment, which they would work with.
Special
Logistics Equipment
When transporting
and manoeuvring bulky medical equipment, the white glove logistics company uses
special devices that allows them to raise heavy apparatus over stairways and
around corners. As you can imagine, handling this type of equipment demands a
high level of knowledge and the manufacturer will not allow anyone to touch the
equipment until it has been signed over to the customer.
Product
Training
The white glove
technicians must attend many workshops and seminars to learn about the
equipment they work with and to be approved by the manufacturer. This would
take up a lot of time, but without it, the technician would not be permitted to
work with the equipment; some work exclusively with ATMs, other specialise in medical equipment, while some
work exclusively with touch-screen information boards.
