Behind the Scenes: Asynt Solutions' Research and Development Process for the APE Barrier System

At Asynt Solutions, we're on a mission to revolutionize road safety through the development of advanced traffic barriers. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to create our cutting-edge APE Barrier System? In this blog post, we're taking you on a journey through our research and development (R&D) process to give you a glimpse of the dedication and innovation that drives our mission.

The Genesis of the Idea:

Every innovation starts with an idea, and our journey was no different. The concept of creating the APE Barrier System was born out of a deep concern for the safety or drivers and road construction crews. We had a vision for more efficient energy absorbing temporary barrier systems. The sight of a semi hauling single digit precast concrete barriers was a clear opportunity to make a real impact by utilizing advanced materials to enhance the performance, transportability and durability of traffic barriers.

The Research Phase:

Our R&D journey began with an extensive research phase. We dove into the world of traffic barriers, ballistic materials and vehicle impacts. Our engineers studied existing products, processes, safety standards, crash testing and manufacturing methods. This initial step allowed us to identify areas where improvements were sorely needed. Our team of designers interviewed industry experts and meticulously examined the challenges and gaps in the existing solutions, laying the foundation for our project.

Product Development:

Now with a clear understanding of the problem at hand, we embarked on the journey of product development. This phase involved countless hours of experimentation, formulation, and testing. We explored a wide range of materials, seeking to strike the perfect balance between strength, weight, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Asynt’s engineers developed prototypes, presented them to industry partners, and then iterated based on feedback. The result was the creation of our proprietary APE Barrier System, the world’s first composite temporary traffic barrier system, tailored to the industry need.

Testing and Iteration:

Creating the most advanced traffic was no small feat. Rigorous testing and validation were essential. Our materials underwent a battery of simulation and physical tests. Ranging from impact, weather and chemical resistance to environmental and manufacturing. Feedback from these tests provided valuable insights and enabled us to iterate and refine our materials, ensuring they met the high standards for energy absorption and durability that we had set.

Overcoming Challenges:

The path to innovation is seldom without challenges. We encountered technical hurdles, manufacturing limitations, economic constraints, and regulatory requirements along the way. However, these challenges only served to encourage innovation. We adapted, sought creative solutions, and navigated the obstacles that stood in our way.

Collaboration and Expertise:

No significant achievement is realized in isolation. We recognized the importance of collaboration and expertise. We partnered with industry experts and research institutions, tapping into their knowledge and resources to accelerate our progress. These partnerships have been instrumental in the development of the APE Barrier System and to these teams we say, “Thank you!”.

Environmental Considerations:

Sustainability and eco-friendliness are core values at Asynt Solutions. Throughout our R&D process, we made environmentally conscious choices, ensuring that our materials align with our commitment to a greener future. We believe that the pursuit of safety on the roads should not come at the expense of our planet. Asynt Solutions designs products to optimize freight, storage, and deployment so they in turn minimize the carbon emissions that result from transporting, using, and manufacturing our products.

Future Prospects:

Our journey in research and development is far from over. We have a clear vision of where we want to go, future products to develop and our commitment to continuous improvement. We're excited about the future and the possibilities it holds for further enhancing road safety with the APE Barrier System.

Conclusion:

Our R&D process is at the heart of our mission to make roads safer for everyone. It reflects our dedication, innovation, and commitment to excellence. We're proud of the technology we've developed for the APE Barrier System and the impact they're making in the world of traffic barriers.
