BOGE scoops top German Industry 4.0 award

Organised by the German business publication, Handelsblatt, this award recognises the customer service offering of BOGE's Continuous Improvement Programme (BOGE CIP), and was won amid stiff competition from companies including Siemens and Audi.

The BOGE CIP is a key element of BOGE selectair, a comprehensive service programme for customers of BOGE's High Speed Turbo compressor systems, which is tailored to individual customer needs. The programme aims to work closely with customers to ensure a continuous improvement path is in place that not only works to prolong the life of the compressor system, but which also delivers operational benefits throughout the compressor's life cycle.

The scope of BOGE's selectair programme covers: compressed air management with remote monitoring; annual performance reports (in conjunction with BOGE's Analytics service); continuous improvement through regular technology updates and system optimisation; ongoing predictive maintenance throughout the life of the compressor, and a 24-hour recovery service.

Mark Whitmore, General Manager of BOGE UK comments: "We are very proud to have won this prestigious award, particularly as we were up against some stellar names in industry, including Siemens, Audi and Thyssen Krupp. The Diamond Star award recognises our work to place the production of that vital industrial resource - compressed air - at the heart of Industry 4.0, and our commitment to customers throughout the world who share our values and who are also working to embrace the Industry 4.0 paradigm."

The annual Diamond Star awards reward leaders in industry and form part of Handelsblatt's Industrial Summit on progress with regard to Industry 4.0 throughout German industry. Learn more about BOGE's selectair programme at www.boge.co.uk.
