CEVA Logistics has launched in India a specialist installation service for large-scale medical equipment using its own team of engineers and technicians.
The team will be responsible for unpacking, installing and setting up equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, cath labs, digital radiography machines and computerised tomography (CT) scanners on behalf of a number of global manufacturers.
To enable the installations to go smoothly, these technicians and engineers will conduct site readiness surveys before unpacking and setting up the machinery at the designated location. Known as factory installations, they can involve a wide range of weights and pieces. For instance, an MRI scanner comprises 26 boxes weighing up to 20 tonnes with a single magnet weighing eight tonnes.
Business development India director Akash Agarwal said: 'Medical machinery requires specialist handling and installation, a complex and technical process. As our clients are increasingly relying on our know-how in this regard, CEVA Logistics decided to bring its healthcare logistics expertise to the next level by setting up a dedicated team of medical equipment installation specialists.'
Initially based in Mumbai, the team will also work on installations in Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Belgaum, before being gradually expanded across the company's network, a statement said.
