How Machinecraft co-developed Medical Liners to store Vaccines - in less than 8 weeks
It is not everyday that you get to work with lifesaving products! During the lockdown period, we got to work on an exciting yet humble product that has been credited with helping saving tens of millions of lives
The OEM product is a special medical refrigerator that doesn’t need a constant source of power, meaning life-saving vaccines can be stored at the correct temperature in countries with frequent power cuts or in hostile environments. The medical refrigerators are running today in 24 countries worldwide saving lives of millions of people. The technology works on properties of water and it allows the vaccines to be stored at precise 4 degrees temperature. It allows the vaccines to be retained at 4 degrees for ten days even without temperature.
