Description
Sumel Group makes metal components for beds, wheelchairs and seats for people with disabilities, as well as complete solutions for those people. The aim of the project is to develop and implement innovative products: two types of bed lifts with automatic mobility functions for obese, disabled or elderly people. To minimise the feeling of mobility restrictions in such patients and to support people who look after them, the lifts must be stable, resistant, with high load-bearing capacity and functionality. Our product will be particularly appreciated by people who spend a lot of time in bed and require various treatments. Changing the rake angle of the mattress in its various parts allows optimum user positioning for any treatment or activity.
We will develop an XL lift (length of 1.96 m, 2 motors) and an LL lift (length of 1.96 m, 1 motor) which will have higher load-bearing capacity and stability than the devices offered in the market so far. Owing to greater dimensions, it will be possible to add accessories to lifts to increase the comfort level. Our surveys show that it is a solution expected on the European market and especially on the German market where the majority of our products are sold, and where the highest safety standards of the design, including the drive and automation units, are required.
Project expenditures include the purchase of equipment and software necessary to start production and, in the first place, the purchase of advisory services to develop the new products.
