In the world of care facilities and hospitals, comfort and ergonomics are not a luxury, but an essential prerequisite for the well-being of residents and the efficiency and health of care staff. The development of the MILO & JAMES shower chair series has played a pioneering role in this quest for maximum comfort and functionality.
The partnership between industrialpartners GmbH and BEKA-Hospitec GmbH has made it possible to create a range of shower chairs that not only meet current standards, but exceed them, thanks to extensive development work on the part of industrialpartners GmbH.
industrialpartners supervised this project from product design, mechanical development, article design and electronics development through to the finished product. In cooperation with the BEKA Hospitec development department, we identified and briefed suppliers for the subsequent series.
The MILO & JAMES shower chair series combines innovation and functionality in an impressive way. The focus here is on the use of high-quality materials and intelligent designs to meet the needs of residents and care staff alike.
Focus on comfort and safety: The MILO & JAMES shower chairs are characterized by their ergonomic seat cushions, the pleasantly soft PUR foam material, the wide range of adjustment options and the high load-bearing capacity.
The shower chairs have been developed for export to foreign markets, in particular the Middle East, the Far East and North America. In these markets, a disproportionate number of obese patients and therefore excessively heavy people need to be cared for.
Thanks to the extensive development services provided by industrialpartners GmbH,these shower chairs can be individually adapted to meet the specific requirements of any care situation. The ability to adjust the backrest of the JAMES model by an additional 30°, for example, is a decisive advantage that significantly increases the comfort and safety of residents and the application options for care staff.
Innovative functions for everyday care: In addition to outstanding comfort, MILO & JAMES shower chairs offer a wide range of innovative functions that make everyday care easier. From multi-adjustable safety arm handles to memory buttons for individual shower positions – BEKA Hospitec shower chairs set new standards in terms of functionality and user-friendliness. Compatibility with NORA/CARLO active and passive lifts underlines the versatility and flexibility of these products.
Product development from a single source: industrialpartners GmbH has taken over the complete development of the MILO & JAMES shower chair series with its holistic consulting know-how. Thanks to the close cooperation with BEKA-Hospitec GmbH, innovative solutions could be realized that optimally meet the needs of the customers. In the implementation phase, various functional models up to a small series of prototypes were built in small batches for testing. The development of the control electronics for controlling the various linear motors was also part of the scope of services, as was support during the industrialization phase.
To ensure the basic kinematic structure of the shower chair range, FEM analyses were carried out on an ongoing basis to guarantee the necessary strength and stability during use. As the shower chairs will be distributed worldwide, this was of the utmost importance, as the shower chairs must be suitable for use not only with very heavy, obese patients and those in need of care in many Western European countries, but also in the Arab countries of the Middle East or in North America.
The MILO & JAMES shower chair series marks a milestone in the development of care products. By using high-quality materials, intelligent designs and innovative manufacturing technologies, these shower chairs set new standards in terms of comfort, functionality and safety. The partnership between industrialpartners GmbH and BEKA-Hospitec GmbH shows how successful collaboration can lead to the creation of outstanding products that sustainably improve the everyday lives of residents and care staff.
The development of the MILO & JAMES shower chair range is an impressive example of how innovation and technology can transform the care industry. By using the latest manufacturing technologies and intelligently combining individual components, we have succeeded in creating shower chairs that are not only functional and comfortable, but also meet the individual needs and requirements of care staff and provide them with lasting relief in their daily work.
These products represent a significant advance for care facilities and help to make every care routine a feel-good experience for patients and care staff.
