To simplify the execution of complex work steps, Boge has developed intelligent installation, including a digitalised assistant, in conjunction with a development partner. The component coding produces a projection of the work instructions and installation information, which appear directly in the visible area. All production technology in the intelligent Boge factory is digitalised so that all relevant values are recorded automatically. The path of the components and any relevant work step can therefore be traced seamlessly. In this way, Boge ensures high product quality. completed within a year at the head office of the family-run company in Bielefeld-Jöllenbeck. A combination of digitalisation, automation and craft is the solution for producing the innovative and unique Boge HST in a range of variants as well as with process reliability – irrespective of the wealth of experience of the employees. A digitalised assistant system enables rapid induction and ergonomic execution of complex work stages too. The components “know” their characteristics and the requirements for the production. The component coding alone thereby produces a projection of the work instructions and installation information, which appear directly in the visible area. Pick-to-light facilitates the installation of the parts required, which are available via a modular assembly kit. The process technology automatically adjusts the component-specific relevant parameters through its connection to the ERP system. The intelligent production concept enables seamless traceabliity of relevant figures for each compressor. An Andon board gives information on the current status of the production lines at any time. The smart factory is in ongoing development. The production principle will be transferred to other series too in the future.
