Business Challenges
Laboratorio Roemmers, a prominent Argentine pharmaceutical company with over a century of history and locations in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela, faced challenges in efficiently managing fuel at its plants in Argentina. The need to control stock, receive critical alerts, and comply with safety regulations drove the search for innovative solutions.
Inefficient Fuel Management: The lack of a centralized system made it difficult to control fuel stocks at the laboratory's plants.
Regulatory Compliance: Safety regulations required by the energy department demanded the implementation of specific measures, such as leak detection and remote monitoring.
Decentralised Operations: Managing multiple plants required a solution that could efficiently centralise control and monitoring.
Project Description
Implementation of Telemeasurement and Leak Detection:
- Successful Pilot Test: : Initially tested at the plant located in Mataderos, the LEDA system proved highly effective in fuel control and early detection of potential losses.
- Model Reolication: Having obtained a successful model, Laboratorios Roemmers replicated the implementation across all its plants, establishing the LEDA system as the standard for comprehensive fuel control.
- Remote Integration: The ability to perform comprehensive control remotely from the central location allowed Laboratorio Roemmers to optimise management, reduce operating costs, and improve efficiency.
Benefits and Results
Desitec provided Laboratorios Roemmers with precise control of fuel stocks, preventing losses and ensuring a constant supply.
- The implementation of LEDA ensured compliance with safety regulations required by the energy department, mitigating risks and ensuring a safe working environment.
- The ability to monitor and control plants remotely resulted in a significant improvement in operational efficiency and agile decision-making.
- Early loss detection and efficient stock control led to substantial savings in fuel and maintenance costs.
Conclusion
The successful implementation of LEDA at Laboratorios Roemmers not only addressed operational challenges but also set a standard of excellence in fuel management. This case exemplifies how technological innovation can transform business operations, improve efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance in a highly regulated sector like pharmaceuticals.
