The Challenge:
Dräger is a leading international company in medical and safety technology. Their products protect, support, and save lives wherever they are deployed – in clinical settings, industry, mining, and emergency services. Before calling Exhibit Network, Dräger had a trailer branded and outfitted to demonstrate their products at off-site locations. Among other custom elements, this trailer had two mannequins for demonstration purposes, one monitor, and six lockable cabinets to secure their product for transport. But this still left them with a significant problem: keeping their products organized and safe. Their two challenges were the excessive time needed to stack, unpack, repack, and sort all their product boxes and the safety of the products during transport. They came to Exhibit Network to see what we could do to save them time and keep their products from being damaged on the road, traveling from destination to destination. Exhibit Network had less than a week before the trailer was on the road for an important meeting.
The Solution:
Exhibit Network immediately knew what to do. Dräger drove the trailer to our warehouse, including all the boxed products, mannequins, and monitor for the trailer. The first part of the solution was to get rid of all the boxes; in their place, Exhibit Network designed, fabricated, and installed compartmental drawers in the cabinets to fit the size and shape of each product. Each compartment was custom-lined with foam for protection during transport and included a fancy shutting mechanism so the drawers would close smoothly. A retaining D-ring was installed on the side wall, and a “seat belt” was attached for the mannequins to ensure they would not shift and fall during transport while providing easy access for demonstrations. Exhibit Network also provided a monitor support suitable for a mobile exhibit.
Exhibit Network delivered exactly what Dräger needed, all within time and budget. When our new client picked up the trailer, she told Exhibit Network that we had exceeded her expectations and that our customer service (returning phone calls quickly with answers to questions) was top-notch. The trailer was hauled to an event scheduled later that same day.
