When demand for ventilators began to soar due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
global respiratory care company Vyaire Medical found itself handling
manufacturing volumes it never would have imagined just weeks before.
The company saw its order volume suddenly increase by a factor of 20 when
it received a U.S. government order for more than 20,000 ventilators.
"We are a company that's dedicated to enabling and extending life, and we
saw the need in the world explode in real time as the orders came in from
across the globe," says Ed Rybicki, global chief information officer of Vyaire.
If the pandemic had occurred two years earlier, Vyaire might have found
it difficult to scale to meet the demand. But in 2018, the company had
the foresight to update its patchwork technology infrastructure to reduce
inefficiencies and enhance processes.
To build a modern analytics infrastructure, the company turned to Amazon
Web Services (AWS). And when the world encountered an unprecedented need
for ventilators due to COVID-19, Vyaire found its new technology environment
could support the company's manufacturing spike in a way its old system
wouldn't have been able to.
