Developing Safety Products
Focus on performance, innovation is of the utmost importance in this product space. If a safety product does not function reliably as intended then it can not be certified as a safety product. For this reason product testing and experimentation is a foundation of the R&D and development process. User centered design is another key element in producing not only a functional but user friendly and comfortable product to wear during a 8+ hour shift. With this product living in a space that does not have the pricing advantages of its distant cousins in the sun/sport glass and fashion RX industries, Lean, robust and automated manufacturing techniques are integrated into the design from the ground up. Patented Intellectual property features throughout help set these apart and keep it that way. Round this out with sporty styling and you get something that doesn’t just live on the job site but often ends up in people’s personal collections for every day use.
Contribution: Involvement throughout the whole product development process from initial concept design through to 3D engineered tooling ready files for injection molded materials.
