The solution brings greater reliability to decision-making and contributes to industrial planning and control.
Through the Pentagro project, aimed at industrial informational data, Uisa, one of the largest biorefineries in Brazil, was recognized with the “Pioneering” award. The ceremony took place on Wednesday (02), during Pentagro’s Day, held at the Vision Tech Summit – Industry of the Future. The award acknowledges the company’s contribution to the development, in collaboration with Pentagro, of the Pentagro PCP project.
The project features a solution that emerged with the intent to combine a digital twin, implemented at Uisa’s industrial plant, with the Pentagro PCP tool, to plan the harvest, inputs, and the technical list composition for calculating production costs. This initiative brought increased data reliability and, consequently, more accurate planning.
For Uisa’s Industrial Planning and Control Coordinator, Danilo Mirandola Beraldi, the Pentagro PCP project is considered one of the most significant initiatives focused on industrial data efficiency. “Our focus has always been to make this tool dynamic and evolving, bringing more ease to the company’s planning, making it consolidated and more credible. This recognition shows that we are on the right path,” says Beraldi.
Together with Pentagro, Uisa, which had already been using Pentagro PGDI for daily production tracking, decided to search for a solution, thus creating the PCP module and digitizing the mass and energy balance calculation process. In addition to eliminating the manual process previously done through spreadsheets, the industrial team was able to bring speed and accuracy to internal operations.
“We are on an important journey where data is crucial for the agribusiness sector. We implemented the solution, improved the system, and today, we have a consolidated project for our industry that informs us in real-time about the performance of our production,” explains Uisa’s Systems Coordinator, Igor Araújo.
The Pentagro PCP project started during the Automation, Development, and Innovation Journey (JADI), which, since 2019, has boosted Uisa’s digital ecosystem with the goal of providing a technological environment always ready to meet the company’s business needs with minimal cost, increased productivity, and operational gains.
