Our QCSR commitments and actions
Improve energy performance
Flipo Richir modifies and modernizes facilities to achieve significant energy gains.
In order to respond in particular to companies that have started an approach based on the ISO 50001 “Energy Management” standard, Flipo Richir offers alternative solutions with a higher level of energy performance in addition to ” same as existing ” renovation solutions.
- Replacement of star-delta motor starters by variable speed drives
- Modification of the operation of ventilation systems
- Modification of the PLC program
- Remote management …
Example : air flow management in paint booths in the automotive industry :
Gain: €45,000/year reduction in electricity consumption, 25% reduction in maintenance budget
Through R&D, develop design tools dedicated to the optimization of the renovation of medium power electrical machines.
Improve the efficiency of machines during the renovation of :
- Asynchronous motors : Performance improvement
- Alternators : Increased power output with the same footprint
Targets:
- – High voltage electric motors : France and Export (Mines)
- – Alternators : France and Export (Hydroelectric)
R&D partnership with the LSEE laboratory and the Medee cluster
Conducting innovative studies
Flipo Richir conducts high-level research in partnership with universities to implement technological advances and increase machine efficiency.
The means of digital modeling and the evolution of material properties make it possible to carry out renovations and modernizations that contribute to improving the energy balance of equipment.
Transforming technology into solutions and processes:
The challenge of Flipo Richir is to provide customers and users with innovative and efficient solutions, contributing to their CSR policy, possibly within the framework of an ISO 50001 ”Energy Management” certification.
Conducting innovative studies for the improvement of the Systems
Flipo Richir will deploy the first prototype of the innovative SW-EW solution for the Mamou Hospital in Guinea.
In the form of an integrated container, it will provide a reliable power supply for sensitive medical equipment, as well as access to drinking water, which is essential for the health of patients.
Objectives:
- – To propose a solution of hybrid production
- of electrical energy, water and incidentally of cold; autonomous, transportable, modular and extensible according to the local needs
- – To deploy the first prototype at the Mamou hospital to improve access to care under satisfactory conditions
- – To involve in the dynamics a collective of companies, academics and associations of Hauts-de-France and Guinea to maximize the benefits of the project.
To reduce the environmental impact
Flipo Richir, a member of SIRMELEC, applies the lessons learned from studies conducted in partnership with ADEME.
Since 2016, the circular economy has been at the heart of Flipo Richir’s actions.
Our job as a repairer, especially for rotating machines and transformers, is to repair and recycle machines rather than replace them with new ones. This activity, which places us at the heart of a circular economy, has very favorable environmental indicators.
Flipo Richir has since 2012 implemented a continuous improvement approach, piloted within the framework of our MASE certification, it deals, in addition to the safety of stakeholders and users by:
- waste sorting
- the hunt for liquid and oil leaks
- optimization of the air network
- fleet tracking, GPS and geolocation to shorten routes
It is now through its Quality certification project (according to the ISO 9001 standard) that the company is deploying new action plans:
- Set total quality targets and objectives,
- Use data to better understand energy use issues and make decisions to address them
- Measure the results
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the policy, and implement corrective actions
- Continuously improve energy management.
Promote equity in employment and training
Flipo Richir builds its human resources policy on 3 axes:
- Develop skills: train its staff, give a chance to young talents, by helping them to study in France in the form of opportunities and financial support
- To promote local employment on the FLIPO RICHIR sites in France and in its subsidiaries in Guinea and Poland; to avoid subcontracting, to prefer partnerships with companies or organizations with common values
- Strive for equity among its employees, in France and at its sites and subsidiaries
As part of the emergence program, FLIPO RICHIR sponsors a young person to pursue higher education. The company takes in charge an annual contribution throughout the training, the President of FLIPO RICHIR is the referent to accompany the student in his schooling.
Flipo Richir supports work-study students up to and beyond their engineering degree, and if necessary, additional study costs for upgrading (e.g., English language skills)
Three drivers:
1 – complete the training of students: licence Pro Miege
2 – increase the skills of teachers: Master 2
3 – equip a practical room
