Design Group-Atlanta serves a Fortune 500 client known worldwide for its cleaning and disinfecting products that are helping combat the spread of COVID-19. Several DG-Atlanta professionals are currently providing key engineering support at this client’s manufacturing facility in Forest Park, GA. They are grateful the client has taken many precautionary measures to make the site as safe as possible. Temperature checks prior to entering the plant, issuing masks and gloves, hand sanitizers throughout the facility, and asking everyone to gather in smaller groups in the breakrooms to keep proper distance are a few examples. They even performed fumigation throughout the site to help eliminate germs. “Just the idea of us being part of the solution makes me say, “‘WOW!’ The world may never know what part DG had in all of this once it is said and done, but the DG family and our client will know,” said Jerry Rodriguez, Senior Project Engineer.
When educational toy manufacturer InkSmith, of Ontario, Canada, decided to switch gears and manufacture face shields to help healthcare workers stay safe during the COVID-19 outbreak, they reached out to the community for help. Pneumatic Scale Angelus-Waterloo (Canada) saw the request (and plans) for 3D printing of the headband portion of the shields and knew they could help. “We have been using leftover rolls from our 3D printer that don’t have enough material remaining to do any of our molds, so instead of throwing them away, we are using them for something amazing but incredibly simple,” said Jerrid Hergott, PSA-Waterloo Production Manager. InkSmith then cleaned, assembled and distributed the shields to local undersupplied hospitals.
