The Challenge
Supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19, meaning equipment delivery delays for the customer
One of the world’s leading Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), was due to deliver a 400 kVA UPS for its Data Centre (DC) customer in the Philippines. The DC was due to receive the UPS in a week’s time for its expanded facility.
Covid-19 meant that the traditional route of delivery for the customer would be delayed due to issues in the supply chain with various lockdowns. With a looming delivery deadline of just a week, the UPS units had to arrive from the Philippines - then be tested and commissioned in order to be accepted by the DC at its facility.
The customer would traditionally partner with local vendors for testing needs, but with time against them on the occasion, a quick response turnaround with seamless project execution had to take place – there was no room for error or further delays.
With our strong reputation for delivery on short notice and deep experience in DC-specific turnkey load-testing solutions, the OEM customer turned to Aggreko to meet the tight deadline and meet their rigorous technical inspection standards.
