BOGE continuous improvement programme (CIP) is among the best once again

BOGE is a finalist in the energy efficiency prize PERPETUUM 2018 of the Germany company initiative for energy efficiency (DENEFF). The family-run company based in Bielefeld was selected as one of the ten best contenders among a number of applications for the renowned award.

At the DENEFF annual kick-off conference on 20 February 2018, the compressed air specialist entered its continuous improvement programme in the contest. BOGE is replacing traditional maintenance by continuously optimising machinery and is thereby shrinking the cost of compressed air.

“That we made it to the final shows us once again that we are hitting the mark with compressed air users”, says Wolf D. Meier-Scheuven, managing partner at BOGE. The compressed air specialist qualified for the PERPETUUM 2018 energy efficiency prize alongside nine other companies. In a so-called “elevator pitch”, Aljoscha Schlosser, Digital Innovation Manager at BOGE, competed against the other nominated energy-saving solutions with BOGE CIP. The objective was to convince the jury and the audience. In November 2017, the continuous improvement programme was awarded the “Diamond Star” prize by the business newspaper “Handelsblatt”.

“We are not standing on the winners’ podium this time but we have received a great deal of positive feedback on the BOGE. This encourages us to continue with our development from machine builder to compressed air service provider”, emphasises Wolf D. Meier-Scheuven. The continuous improvement programme is setting new standards for customer focus and compressed air efficiency. BOGE identifies energy-saving potential via ongoing data analysis of compressed air technology. The system is therefore continuously further developed to be specific to the customer. In this way the compressed air system does not become obsolete but increasingly more energy-efficient in use. Cost-intensive maintenance is a thing of the past.

A revolutionary concept such as BOGE CIP requires machine design that is equally innovative. This requirement is fulfilled by BOGE HST high speed turbo technology. The modular design and the compact low-maintenance construction enable hardware to be changed in the shortest time possible.
