Vita Inclinata production quadruples to help Ukraine and other countries


This is a huge year for Vita Inclinata. With a production model in hand, the company announced in May that it already has quadrupled its manufacturing lines and added extra shifts to meet the global demand for its rescue and load stabilization technologies from the U.S. military as well as Chile, Japan, Portugal and Ukraine. The UAE is already using it for search and rescue, Riedlin said.


The company is employing vertical supply chain integration principles to reduce costs and provide greater control of its product


assembly. These measures include using 3D printers to produce components, using mobile tablets to manage workflows quicker, and licensing various technologies that were previously outsourced to third parties.


At Ukraine’s request, Carr traveled to that country’s war zone to teach medevac troops how to use the VRS. The country currently has no medevac capabilities, he said in his blog about his experience. After


roadblocks, air raid sirens,


interrogations and a long road trip, Carr and his videographer Scott Slack reached Uzhgorod in southwest Ukraine to train troops in Russian-contested airspace.


“At each obstacle we found a way, and through that process I learned a lot about Caleb’s resourcefulness and determination,” Slack added on Carr’s blog.


The Ukrainian military has requested 30 more Vita systems, Riedlin related. Carr already provided training and the first system at no cost.


“It’s a great opportunity for us to help the Ukrainian people and really get our technology out there where it matters the most,” Riedlin said.
