Optimization of a Packaging Line with Industrial Automation
At Ingelam, we believe that every project is an opportunity to demonstrate that industrial automation can transform production processes and make companies in Colombia and Latin America more competitive.
This success story reflects how, through electrical engineering and control systems integration, we achieved together with our client a significant improvement in their production.
The Challenge
A food production plant was facing inefficiencies in its packaging line:
- Frequent downtime.
- Limited visibility of operation status.
- Loss of productivity due to lack of reliable control.
It was necessary to design a comprehensive solution that not only solved the immediate problems, but also gave the client the confidence to grow sustainably.
The Solution
At Ingelam, we approached the project with our work methodology: listen, advise, and design tailor-made solutions.
The implementation included:
- Custom electrical panels for the packaging line.
- Automated control systems, enabling real-time monitoring of the operation.
- Ongoing technical support, from design to commissioning and post-implementation assistance.
The Results
The implementation brought immediate improvements:
- Significant reduction of downtime.
- Increase in production efficiency of the line.
- Greater reliability in process monitoring and control.
The client experienced how automation became a profitable investment that directly impacted their competitiveness.
Lessons Learned
For our team, this project reaffirmed that automation is not just about technology:
- It is about understanding the client’s real needs.
- It is about designing solutions that have an impact on the company’s productivity and sustainability.
- It is about being present at every stage, building trust through technical support.
Looking Ahead
As Ricardo, an engineer with more than 8 years of experience at Ingelam, states:
“Automation will continue to grow in Colombia. Companies are realizing that it is not an expense, but an investment that improves competitiveness. At Ingelam, we are ready to support them on that path, applying advanced technologies adapted to our region.”
