CEI Partners on Vaccine Delivery System
CEI Provides Critical Technology Support to Partnership Distributing COVID-19 Vaccine to Vulnerable Populations
Pittsburgh, PA (January 19, 2021) – Computer Enterprises, Inc. (CEI), a provider of leading-edge consulting, technology, and digital solutions and an AWS Advanced Consulting partner, is proud to have implemented AWS IoT-based solutions that are enabling a safe distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine by the non-profit group Medical Teams International in partnership with Pro Refrigeration, a CEI client.
The non-profit Medical Teams International is committed to serving the most vulnerable populations by distributing the vaccine to its mobile health clinics in the Northwest. To enable this effort, Medical Teams partnered with Pro Refrigeration, Inc. which outfitted a Low-Temperature Lab Freezer donated to Medical Teams with PROElliot, a cutting-edge, remote freezer monitoring system developed in partnership with CEI.
“When we started working with Pro Refrigeration on PROElliott to enable real-time monitoring of the cold chain verification process for dairy applications, we never imagined that we would have the opportunity to play a role in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine,” says Brett Cocking, VP of AWS Business Services at CEI. “It is really exciting to see the promise offered by the capabilities of AWS IoT services, including Greengrass, come to life by providing sensor/connection verification, data filtering, and data storage for this critical application.”
“We are thrilled that the PROElliot can help Medical Teams handle and distribute these valuable vaccines,” said Jim VanderGiessen, Jr., CEO of Pro Refrigeration, Inc. “They needed a tool that provides real-time temperature monitoring, plus we can offer so much more with some trending analysis tools to alert and send alarms whenever potential issues are detected. The platform is cloud-based, connecting via cellular to our gateway that operates on the Edge from the customer’s site.”
Since June 2020, Medical Teams has been an official COVID-19 testing partner with the WA Department of Health and partnered with the Oregon Health Authority in September of 2020. Medical Teams have been deployed to COVID-19 hot spots in counties throughout WA and OR, providing free testing to more than 22,000 people at high risk.
