When transporting something of such importance like military and medical electronic equipment, protection is essential. There are a number of ways for equipment to become damaged during transport. While protecting the outside of your equipment is key, there is also stress being placed on the inner workings of your equipment as well.
It is important to be aware of how you transport your equipment and what precautions you take to ensure that the brain of your equipment is kept safe. Sure a strong, durable case is important to ensure the protection of the equipment, but how does the inside of your case protect the inside of your equipment?
The key is foam interior. With foam interior, you are not only preventing damage to the shell of your equipment, but preventing damage to the heart and brain of your equipment. Within your equipment’s hard drive, several things could be damaged during a strenuous move. Zero Assumption Recovery says that the following two failures could occur due to physical damage:
- Logic board failures- This includes broken connectors and chip damage that would result in equipment needing to be replaced.
- Moving parts failure- This includes a head crash or a spindle motor failure that would also be in need of repairs and replacement.
With a custom foam interior within your case, these failures could be prevented. Foam interiors will help absorb the shock and vibrations that will occur during transportation of your equipment. This interior will also help moderate the temperature within your case, especially if your equipment will be stored on an airplane. Extreme heat or cold could cause damage to the interior of your equipment as well. If you invest in a custom foam interior for your case, organization will now be an added benefit of your case. An organized case will ensure that all parts of your equipment will stay in their proper place. Being able to locate your equipment parts will enable you to build your final product once it has reached its location quickly and efficiently.
