KNOW HOW
Aludesign S.p.A. has gathered a team of experts, that actively
participate to the development of new products in accordance with
our R&D department suggesting new ideas for the progress of a
continuous technical update in every specific field of activity. The
Team combines the different knowledge and experience, of highly
qualified professionals like SIA instructors, Instructors of the Former
trainers for rope courses, Mountain Guides, Rescuers etc.
This kind of approach to development is important because the
effectiveness of Personal Protective Equipment’s against falls from
heights evolves day after day, and most of the new ideas come
from experience in both recreational and professional backgrounds
and by considering closely the external factors influencing the
performances during the vertical activity:
• Climatic (hot weather, cold weather, snow, rain, ice, etc.)
• Environmental (sand, saltiness, chemical contaminations,
abrasive or cutting surfaces, etc.)
• Subjective (disregard, urgency, calamity, fast decision required,
pressure to finish the job etc.)
These are the key factors taken in account in cross reference with
knowledge base supplied by our team of experts for any new
product to be developed.
