Tested and approved to comply with the highest safety standards
Before new Boplan safety products are launched, they undergo extensive testing. External and independent parties test the absorption capacity, strength and quality to ensure that Boplan crash protection meets the highest safety standards in various industries. After all, your safety is our top priority.
Where innovation thrives
Boplan R&D
Boplan R&D is not your typical research and development team. We thrive on the strength of our complementary teams, constantly challenging and inspiring each other to create exceptional products. Our Innovation Team is the creative force behind our success, responsible for designing and redesigning products, introducing new innovations, and working directly with sales. Meanwhile, our Research Engineering & Development (RED) Team provides technical validation, manages intellectual property, and oversees certification and testing processes.
With Boplan R&D, innovation knows no limits - we are rewriting the rules and shaping a future where the possibilities are endless.
The best of both worlds
Technical performance and attractive design
We firmly believe that safety doesn't have to be boring or unattractive. When it comes to design, we pay special attention to the functional aesthetics of our safety products. While others may consider it an afterthought, we at Boplan, strive to enhance the visual appeal of your workplace. We believe that safety systems can be seamlessly integrated with aesthetics, working hand in hand.
Our innovation process
From creative idea to installation
Our ideas for new products come from our business, are market-driven, or align with our intellectual property strategy. Then we develop certain ideas further with more detail using sketches, renderings, etc. For ideas with strong potential, we start an R&D project. Here, we build prototypes for functional testing. Then the engineering phase begins, where we focus on technical validation based on:
1. Feasibility tests by internal & external accredited laboratories
2. Internal virtual simulations
Virtual simulations have become the backbone of our modern, sophisticated, data-driven product development strategy. They enable us to predict how a product will respond to impact, long before a physical prototype is built. This virtual testing is not a replacement for the physical crash tests conducted at our in-house testing facility. Rather, they are an essential part of the preparation process. They enable us to develop products faster, with greater focus and insight.
3. Real-life vehicle impact tests based on PAS13:2017 and UNI/TS 11886-1.
We conduct a physical crash test in order to benchmark and validate the simulation results.
*Testing is performed under third party supervision (TÜV Nord) and is recognized with product certificates.
TESTING AT BOPLAN
WHERE INNOVATION MEETS PRECISION
Our in-house testing facilities play a crucial role in driving continuous innovation and improvement. By replicating real-life scenarios and rigorously evaluating the performance of our safety products, we ensure the highest levels of reliability and effectiveness in your facility.
Indoor Test Lab
Our enclosed indoor testing lab is a testament to our commitment to excellence. Here, we have the ability to test at any time, regardless of weather conditions or external factors. This controlled environment allows us to create repeatable conditions, ensuring precise and accurate results. From varying floor conditions to impact angles, we meticulously recreate scenarios that our safety products may encounter in your specific facility.
Advanced data collection
At Boplan, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to data collection and analysis. Our testing facilities are equipped with the latest technology, including onboard computers, lasers, and high-speed cameras. This advanced data collection system captures precise information that gives us invaluable insight into the performance of our safety solutions. It allows us to measure and analyze key metrics with the utmost precision, ensuring that every product we deliver meets the highest safety standards.
From crash test to virtual simulation
How simulations accelerate product development at Boplan
crash protection
Market leader in safety standards
Our experience in crash testing has allowed us to develop specialized software that allows us to predict, through collision simulation, the behavior, load, impact, deflection, tension and a number of other parameters for each of our products. In order to incorporate all of this knowledge into our products, we work closely with renowned research companies and university research centers. Because of our expertise, we have been called upon as consultants to help establish safety standards in our industry.
