TOP 100 Award: Ranga Yogeshwar honours ProMinent
Innovation award for Heidelberg-based dosing technology manufacturer
Augsburg - Congratulations from Ranga Yogeshwar: The science journalist congratulated ProMinent GmbH from Heidelberg on its TOP 100 award. The award ceremony recently took place in Augsburg for all medium-sized companies that had received the TOP 100 seal at the beginning of the year. Ranga Yogeshwar accompanies the innovation competition as a mentor. In the scientific selection process, ProMinent convinced the jury with its innovative ability in several categories.
The innovative processes and organisation were rated very highly. "The interaction between people is just as important as the definition of systematic processes," emphasises Andreas Zühlcke, Vice President Product Management & Marketing. In basic development, they take care of new products and technologies. In addition, innovative products and features are part of each individual product area. There is also the area of digitalisation, which focuses on new business models. In parallel, "ring-fenced taskforce teams" have been created to network product, app and IIoT development.
In order to promote innovations, the top management is very willing to invest and thinks in the long term, while short decision-making processes ensure quick approvals. "It is part of our DNA to develop innovative solutions with a lot of perseverance and to make them ready for the market," explains Zühlcke.
A current example is the development of a new system for completely digital fluid management. All the necessary products, from the pump to the measurement and control technology to the mobile app, are coordinated and networked with each other as an overall solution. Measurement data, for example the chlorine consumption in a swimming pool, can be accessed worldwide via a secure IIoT platform. In this way, plant operators in water treatment, chemical dealers or service providers in the field of disinfection can monitor and control any number of locations with pump installations remotely - all in real time.
