Automation isn’t enough if production isn’t structured

Many industrial plants have invested in automation, but they still face problems such as:

* Poorly organized production orders.
* Errors in recipes or dosing.
* Lack of batch traceability.
* Difficulty knowing what was produced, when, and under what parameters.
* Reliance on manual records.
* Lack of real-time visibility.

At Ingelam, we came to understand something fundamental through years of experience on the factory floor:

> Industrial efficiency requires an operational structure, not just automated control.
That’s why we developed PMS.

PMS organizes production based on a process-oriented approach

PMS (Production Management System) is a solution designed to organize, control, and structure industrial production, particularly in batch processes.

It is not generic software.

It originated from:
  • * Real-world experience in automation.
  • * Implementation of batch systems.
  • * Integration with multiple providers.
  • * Actual needs identified on the factory floor.
PMS integrates directly with:
  • * Industrial process automation.
  • * Data integration and OT networks.
  • * Electrical infrastructure and instrumentation.
  • * Industrial analytics with SADI.
  • * ERP and administrative systems.
It serves as the bridge between the production process and structured management.

Modular PMS Architecture

According to the model presented at the strategic meeting, PMS consists of modules that allow the operation to be structured in a step-by-step manner.

Gestión de órdenes de producción

Permite planificar y organizar la producción con claridad operativa.

Control de recetas y parámetros

Estandariza procesos productivos y reduce errores manuales.

Gestión por lotes (Batch)

Control estructurado de procesos industriales por lote, garantizando trazabilidad.

Trazabilidad y registro histórico

Permite conocer qué se produjo, cuándo, con qué parámetros y bajo qué condiciones.

Integración con sistemas de control

Conecta PLC y sistemas de automatización con la gestión operativa.

Integración con ERP

Permite conectar la producción con sistemas administrativos.

Production Order Management It enables you to plan and organize production with operational clarity.
Recipe and Parameter Control It standardizes production processes and reduces manual errors.
Batch Processing (Batch) Structured control of industrial batch processes, ensuring traceability.
Traceability and Historical Record It allows you to find out what happened, when, under what parameters, and under what conditions.
Integration with control systems Connects PLCs and automation systems with operational management.
ERP Integration It allows production to be connected to administrative systems.

What PMS Enables in Operations

  • Structured Organization of Production
  • Reducing Dosage Errors
  • Complete traceability by batch
  • Removal of Manual Records
  • Greater operational control
  • Plant-Management Integration
  • A Solid Foundation for Analytics with SADI

PMS does not replace automation.

PMS organizes and structures production.

SADI analyzes performance.

When the two work together, the plant can:

  • * Measure actual efficiency.
  • * Calculate OEE.
  • * Identify losses.
  • * Make decisions based on reliable data.

Strategic Advantage

PMS is not a theoretical solution. It has been implemented in real plants, integrating:

Systems from different manufacturers.

Certified batch processes.

Complex production architectures.

Y And most importantly:

It was designed by engineers who have firsthand experience working in the field.

Impact on Operations

Companies that organize their production using PMS are able to:
  • * Greater managerial control
  • * Reduction in rework
  • * Better planning
  • * Greater operational confidence
  • * Preparing for Future Growth
Structured management is the foundation of sustainable efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PMS only work in batch processing?
It is specifically designed for batch processes, but can be adapted depending on the type of production.
Can it integrate with my current ERP? Yes. We design the plant-management integration in a structured way.
Do you need to replace the entire automation system?
Not necessarily. We evaluate the existing architecture and propose a phased integration.
Can it be implemented in modules?
Yes. PMS allows for phased implementation based on needs.
Is your production automated but unstructured
If you need greater control, traceability, and operational organization, PMS can help you streamline your production process.
