Asia supply chain management in action
June 17, 2026
When an original design manufacturer (ODM) for laptop computers needed to move urgent new product introduction (NPI) parts to Taiwan for final assembly, timing was nonnegotiable. With factories in China and Vietnam feeding production in Taiwan, their inbound flow of motherboards, server parts, and other components had to land on schedule to protect manufacturing lead times and product launch windows.
The challenge intensified when air capacity to Taiwan tightened significantly. Limited space meant higher risk of missed flights, volatile pricing, and delayed deliveries. The ODM shipper needed a partner who could move quickly, secure space reliably, and provide flight options that aligned with target delivery dates.
In just three hours, AIT’s logistics professionals in Taipei responded with rapid, lane-specific flight planning and quote execution, designing a solution to meet the customer’s required delivery window.
Rather than defaulting to a single carrier, AIT evaluated airline options and schedules to optimize arrival timing and identified an advantage in selecting an airline with a daily departure schedule. That timing enabled freight to arrive in Taiwan around midnight, positioning the shipment for customs clearance by noon the next day and keeping production timelines intact.
Execution required the same urgency on the Vietnam-Taiwan route, where capacity constraints threatened timely departure for six pallets. AIT’s local team in Vietnam worked directly with the airline to prioritize handling and protect the shipment’s schedule.
Across both lanes, AIT maintained proactive monitoring, checking flight options immediately upon booking and also tracking shipment status frequently to ensure consistent visibility throughout the two- to three-day timeline.
The results were tangible: the customer reported strong satisfaction with the team’s responsive solutions and invited AIT to participate in its quarterly RFQ process.

When every second counts—and every degree matters—AIT Worldwide Logistics’ Critical Solutions Group (CSG) delivers.
Recently, our team partnered with a clinical-stage biotech company to transport a highly sensitive, life-changing shipment: a cornea bound for a regenerative medicine and cell therapy organization in Tokyo, from a donor tissue site in Seattle.
This advanced therapy, aimed at treating diseases of the eye, requires strict temperature control (between 2 to 8°C) and precise timing to preserve its viability.
With only a handful of days to prepare, AIT’s CSG provided van pickup, specialized single-use Credo Cube packaging with built-in GPS tracking, and coordination with the hospital to ensure everything was in place for final delivery.
The result? A flawless cornea delivery and a new partnership. After experiencing missed flights and communication gaps with a previous provider, the biotech client now trusts AIT’s patient-centric solutions for all their shipping needs.

The customer’s concerns? Previous experiences with other providers had resulted in late deliveries, cargo damage and even lost freight. Additionally, they were looking for a more sustainable shipping option.
AIT’s teams in China and the United States responded to the challenge by ensuring strict chain-of-custody management for the business-critical air and ground shipment. They also implemented a more sustainable, secure packaging method for the sensitive cargo.
Rather than shipping with traditional, single-use wooden crates, the team used environmentally friendly crates that can be reused repeatedly. Every shipment in one of these crates saves two trees from being cut down and a single tree can offset as much as a ton of CO2 in its lifetime!
Plus, the compact, collapsible design of these reusable crate is ultra-tough and includes built-in real-time tracking and condition monitoring.

The team moved quickly to create a customized plan, including ground pickup and delivery. In close collaboration with our core carrier partners at Los Angeles International Airport, AIT coordinated the quick pull of the package from the cargo hold so it would make its connecting flight (with an extremely narrow 10-minute window!), avoiding otherwise certain product expiration.
The team’s relationships and expertise ensured the critical, temperature-sensitive shipment of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched platelets reached the patient in need – on time and in pristine condition.
And thanks to smart, patient-centric solutions like this, the customer continues to turn to AIT for blood logistics support to serve others in need.

The team began by routing seven full-truckload shipments from Oregon to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago where the cargo was transloaded onto a pair of chartered 747 flights to Manila.
Despite import permit delays threatening the client with additional cost, AIT mitigated risk by leveraging strong carrier relationships to procure free temporary cargo storage.
And when destination plans changed mid-transit to a remote field on an outer island, the team quickly arranged for a barge charter resulting in a successful, on-time mission.

Our team not only secured ocean capacity at cost-effective rates, but also handled all coordination and routing via the AIT-China network for more than 100 TEUs of minerals a month from Dalian to Chennai.
