U-Tech GmbH, based in Bad Vilbel, Germany, is an innovative provider of personal protection systems for demanding industrial applications. As part of the new development of the U-Tech Flex personal protection system, industrialpartners GmbH was commissioned as the central development partner for the holistic product development.
The aim of the project was to develop a technically mature, robust and user-friendly personal protection system that meets the highest standards of safety, ergonomics and industrial usability. industrialpartners played a key role throughout the entire development process – from the initial concept phase through to production preparation.
Benefits and services of industrialpartners GmbH
In the U-Tech Flex project, industrialpartners was responsible for a comprehensive range of services:
Product design & industrial design
Development of a functional and clearly structured design with a focus on ergonomics, intuitive usability and industrial robustness.
Mechanical design & article design
Design and construction of all mechanical components, including plastic-compatible design for subsequent series production and definition of individual articles.
Technical documentation
Creation of technical product and manufacturing documentation as a basis for production, quality assurance and approval.
Sample and prototype construction
Construction of functional samples and prototypes to validate design, mechanics and assembly concepts.
Supplier and production partner selection
Identification, evaluation and selection of suitable production partners, in particular for injection moulded parts and mechanical components, including technical coordination and industrialization support.
Another key success factor of the project was the close cooperation within an efficient partner network.
The input solutions and HMI components were realized by Hoffmann + Krippner GmbH from Buchen (member of the HK.Systems holding company). Overall production, electronics manufacturing and quality and logistics management are carried out by EPSA Elektronik & Präzisionsbau Saalfeld GmbH.
Result
The U-Tech Flex personal protection system is a modern, flexible and reliable system that sets new standards in its product category. The project is an example of successful, interdisciplinary product development “Made in Germany” – characterized by clear processes, technical excellence and partnership-based cooperation.
With this project, industrialpartners GmbH confirms its expertise as a development partner for complex mechatronic systems – from the idea to series production
