Strategic engineering and intelligent automation at the service of industrial efficiency.

The Challenge

An agroindustrial plant dedicated to the production of balanced feed was facing a crucial challenge: its production capacity was at its limit.

Management sought to double daily production, but building a new line meant a high investment and long implementation time, in addition to the risk of shutting down the existing plant.

The challenge was clear: how to increase production with current resources, without affecting operations or quality standards?

Ingelam’s Solution

The Ingelam team conducted a comprehensive diagnosis of the existing electrical and automation infrastructure, identifying operational bottlenecks and optimization opportunities.

From there, a solution was designed based on automation, integration, and process reengineering:

Implemented Strategy:

• Central control system upgrade, optimizing sequence logic and equipment communication. 
• Integration of new customized electrical panels, with greater management capacity and safety. 
• Reconfiguration of transport and dosing lines, adjusting process synchronization. 
• Automation of critical points to reduce downtime and improve production traceability. 
• Continuous technical support throughout the entire process, ensuring seamless implementation. 

The approach was not to build more, but to make what already existed work better and faster.

The Results

The impact was immediate and measurable:

• Doubling of daily production capacity. 
• Operational flow optimization, with reduction of unproductive time. 
• Greater stability and reliability in the electrical and control system. 
• Reduction of energy consumption per ton produced. 
• Short-term return on investment, without the need for additional infrastructure. 

The client achieved their growth objective with a significantly lower investment than planned, and without stopping operations.

Team Voice

“You don’t always need a new line to grow. With well-thought-out engineering, we managed to double production by leveraging what already existed.”
— Jefferson Bedoya Hoyos, Technical Manager, Ingelam.

Lessons Learned

This project reaffirmed one of the key principles of the Ingelam methodology:

“Efficiency is not bought, it is designed.”

Optimizing a plant doesn’t just mean modernizing it, but understanding its processes, analyzing its data, and acting with technical precision.
Automation is both a technological tool and an industrial sustainability strategy.

Looking to the Future

The success of this project became a reference model for sustainable expansion in the Colombian agroindustrial sector, demonstrating that strategic engineering can replace excessive investment.

Today, Ingelam applies this vision in new plants that seek to grow without stopping, through modular, intelligent, and scalable solutions.
