In Search of Purchasing & Supply Chain Volunteers
March 30, 2020
Looking for Purchasing and Supply Chain volunteers to help with our COVID 19 fight.
Battlefield International Inc. Is looking for volunteers to help us speed along the realization of our automation kit for manual ventilators we are developing at light speed. We have been developing this under the full direction of our medical friends at Hamilton Health Sciences. Right now, there are innovative people doing their best to design ventilators all over the world. There are lots of great ideas and we wish every developer well.
Our approach is one where we are trying to include the best possible control and adjustability to enable doctors to vary the most parameters they wish to have access to for unique patient needs.

After extensive meetings with local medical experts to ensure our approach will be the best technically it can be, we are having our final design meeting tonight. Our designers are working right through until morning to finalize the design and lock it in. First thing tomorrow our CNC programmers and machining staff are going to work as long as possible Tuesday, right through the night if necessary to be sure the parts are available the first possible moment. Our staff are donating their overtime to this cause and have a passion for getting this done. We are still doing our best to meet our Aerospace and Defense customer needs during regular work hours.
Once our design is locked in, we will be identifying performance characteristics required for many ventilator control panel valves, timers, flow controls, pneumatic circuitry and fittings. The task we need help with is to locate volunteers who will go online and try to locate products that both meet the specifications of each component. But it's also critical that they are also available in quantity. Interested parties should send their resume's for these volunteer positions to info@battlefield.biz.
As soon as our product fully meets the preferred criteria the medical community would like to have, we will be releasing the design and drawings online so it can be copied and produced by any company or people that are able to produce them to help this cause.
I can promise you, should you be able and willing to help, the negative effects on the mood of all of us when pondering this unfortunate pandemic with be replaced in part with hopefulness. We will be choosing who to work with by locating the most experienced, quick and dedicated people we can find. Pneumatic systems experience would be another helpful quality.
