1.7.2020. Corona Spain with the outbreak epidemic difficult, especially was hit. “Shutdown” the factory seat in Martorell also was there. However, of the largest employers in Spain the Spanish automotive manufacturer, for the production of a quick response and mechanical breathing AIDS Production turned.
Production and SEATS, and logistics Dr. Christian Vollmer S. A., a member of the board of directors, creativity, and a bright corona with the crisis boldly, with the insight of the company for an interview.

Dr. Vollmer can’t be made in the production of mechanical respiratory aids how fast?
In the short-term are already in the middle of the month of March, front line Assembly for the production of mechanical respiratory aids for adaptation we had decided on a Seat Leon Dr. Christian Vollmer. Approximately 700 square meters of manufacturing space in the shortest time so to be able to a part of if you have changed AIDS produce and deliver breathing oxygen to the hospitals in Spain, and is detrimental to you as soon as possible. Approximately 150 employees were directly involved in the production of from different areas.
There were characteristics that must be followed in the production of ventilation equipment?
Mechanical respiratory aids for the production of seats Vollmer: there was an unknown region. As they say, necessity makes you creative. In this case, all we’ve seen exactly what this means: the car in a short time of the time that we have produced tools for the manufacture of medical devices the US. This, in itself, is actually the most important feature of this situation. Mechanical respiratory devices are composed of more than 80 electrical and mechanical components, changed gears with a 3D printer, and were able to link wiper motor gear shaft. Prototype manufacturing team and expert engineers from here you have done a great job with the team, have to work together.
The mood in the sector, what happened this time?
The idea just a few days in Spain “Shutdown” Vollmer then passed for the conversion of the production. Almost every colleague, friend or family circle “in an infected situation” was there. The mood was tense. He worked on all participating highly motivated colleagues and a common clear goal, but he also is very clear in the sense that what you could see. Many people “made”there.
Did this change how people react to a seat? Are you proud that has made a contribution to the common good?
Vollmer: first of all, the example of harmony was that this was the case, and no However. With this team, and his driver would be able to solve any problem. The incredible level of creativity free. Your efforts crowned with success: the Spanish medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority by very quickly for respiratory devices was officially released. It’s just me, but I’m not too proud. The most I’ve ever had, great team performance.
“How Go”what took you so long?
Vollmer: in particular, until the Spanish Regulatory Authority approved devices is the construction of the first prototype in only ten days there. 13 necessary for mass production prototypes, there is a model series developed in close coordination by the authority. Just two days after admission, a total of 620 hospitals in the first use has been successful in already manufactured devices.
Barcelona El Prat de Barcelona and sites on what everyday life was like, what?
Vollmer: in both places were involved in the production of mechanical breathing AIDS. Approximately 120 piece, this custom made screws, springs, laser cut plates and pieces of things there were two other important housing total.
Devices exported to other countries do you have?
Vollmer: no, only the aid of a mechanical ventilator and was in Spain for the construction of only temporary approval. A free device is equipped with a total of 34 hospitals.
The engineers who worked for the production of SEAT ventilators?
Vollmer called the help of a mechanical ventilator: Oxygen-a quasi-free Proton there is hardware company.XYZ have been developed. (Pujol hospital, Plaza San Martin, i) the Coordination of medical doctors, (review Plaza San Martin y Pujol Institute) Dr. Manuel Puig Domingo, Oriol Dr. Estrada and Dr. Joseph-Nicolas Maria (Hospital Clinic) has been developed around two weeks. The process of industrialization, (IGTP) y Pujol Research Institute of the Germans Trias, including different seat partners; Comparative Medicine and bio-imaging Club (Catalan center); Recam Laser; Nature motor; Luz Negra; Central Automation Laboratory LCOE (official); Ficosa; Bosch; IDNEO; Secartys; and it was kept under the management of espiroflex Gaso.
