Alon Technologies specializes in developing and engineering technologies for the marine environment. We also provide services to companies that are engaged in undersea industries. In addition to our specialization in production technologies, we at Alon Technologies have over 20 years experience in building ground and underwater systems.
In recent years, we at Alon Technologies have seen a growing trend in the development of various innovations for the marine environment. A number of companies have added technologies designed for this environment to their product line. A majority of these underwater products are for security and protection purposes. We have researched and discovered that there are several reasons for the upsurge in the underwater market:
- The field of energy production in the marine environment is expanding.
- A rise in threats to energy and communications facilities in sub aquatic arenas.
- The recreational diving market has seen a steady increase.
- An increased interest in the development of the renewable energy market.
- Greater attempts in developing the subsea mining market.
Unlike the environment technologies developed for use on land, products developed for underwater applications include two independent components of development.
First, when developing a product for the land environment, a company must deal with all the technological difficulties that are characteristic of developing new products or improving an existing product. This would include parameters such as reliability and performance, size, ease of use, ease of operation and so on.
However, when developing a product for application in the marine environment, especially for those used underwater, a new variable has to be considered. This consideration is not necessarily a major feature in developing the product, but it makes the difference between a product’s success and its failure: durability in the marine environment.
Next, in order to provide a durable product in the marine environment, a company must employ experts to provide their services in the following areas:
- Expertise in specialty metals used in the marine environment.
- Expertise in sealing tests and function tests in the marine environment.
- Expertise in choosing composites for the marine environment.
- Expertise in the design and manufacture of rubber and silicone parts.
- Expertise in developing manufacturing processes and patterns for plastics.
A product’s durability for the marine environment comes only with a combination of expert skills and knowledge. Alon Technologies brings together numerous professions and various specialties in order to form an integrated expertise. It is with this highly specialized and integrated expertise that we design and engineer a superior product for the marine environment.
