The new crown epidemic has caused a serious impact on the production of all walks of life, but the demand for medical-related equipment has skyrocketed, which has put a rigorous test on related industries and enterprises. Encountered an unprecedented challenge.
According to Intel, at noon on Tuesday, March 31 this year, the Intel Chengdu production line received an urgent order for 25,000 BDW series CPUs. The customer specifically noted that it was used in a global snapped-up ventilator. Only 4 days of production time!
You know, the normal delivery cycle of Intel Chengdu is 2 weeks.
With the spread of the epidemic, ventilators have become a shortage of materials. It is difficult to meet global needs even if factories around the world are operating at full capacity, and they are also facing shortages of raw materials and poor logistics.

In fact, Intel engineers have not noticed that their CPU will be used in the ventilator. "Our CPU is installed in the control computer of the ventilator, used to control the intensity, frequency, and size of the ventilator, and make appropriate adjustments according to the different breathing states of the patient."
This is no longer a simple business order, it is more related to corporate social responsibility. Intel urgently formulates production plans. On the one hand, it arranges the least employees to use overtime to complete most orders first, and deliver them within one week. On the other hand, it purchases raw materials for urgent ordering and arranges the follow-up production immediately when the materials arrive. This has also reached the full support of relevant employees and their families.
On Tuesday, a week later, Intel first delivered 18,000 CPUs to the airport for shipment.
As of April 9, the Intel Chengdu plant has delivered a total of 20,000 units, and the remaining 5,000 units will also be completed and shipped as soon as possible.
Intel said: "This is not only Intel's first positive response and action as an enterprise in the face of the epidemic, but also another more rational, professional, and constructive action. We stand behind the" One Intel " The mission and belief of sharing the same destiny with the world. "
