Real‑time data access has become a vital necessity for companies aiming to stay competitive in a constantly evolving market. At Gualapack Brazil, this understanding of the importance of real‑time data has not only been acknowledged but actively integrated into its production management strategy.

The LiveMES MES software implemented at Gualapack was a significant step in that direction. By enabling instant monitoring and analysis of production data, LiveMES not only simplified but also enhanced how the company manages its processes. Previously, data analysis was a task requiring significant time and resources. Now, with LiveMES, that analysis became instant and accessible, enabling managers to make informed decisions more quickly and effectively.

This transformation in data analysis and use profoundly impacted Gualapack’s entire operation. From early problem identification to process optimization, LiveMES became an indispensable tool for boosting operational efficiency and product quality. Furthermore, by fostering a culture of continuous improvement, LiveMES is helping the company adapt quickly to market changes and maintain its position as an industry leader.

In March 2024, Gualapack held its goal‑deployment meeting with the production team at the Iperó unit. The event was marked by palpable pride, as months of hard work finally materialized into tangible results. Managers were able to explore data quickly and easily, thanks to the successful LiveMES implementation.

LiveMES provided Gualapack with the ability to monitor its operation in real time, literally putting data in the hands of managers. This agility in data analysis has already proven to be a significant differential for the company. The speed in identifying and resolving issues enabled continuous improvements in operational results.

This achievement would not have been possible without the support and commitment of various professionals and departments within the company. Robson Albanez, who always emphasized the importance of an MES system for operations, was instrumental to the initiative. Rafael Pereira, entrusting the project management to a competent team, demonstrated leadership and strategic vision. Richardson Mariano, who got hands-on in the project. The maintenance team, led by Alex Britto, played a crucial role in implementing the project’s physical components. Pedro Henrique dos Santos Noel, responsible for integrating the tool with the company’s ERP, ensured the solution worked harmoniously and efficiently.

Additionally, the partnership with HarboR was essential throughout this journey. The company not only provided the tool but also offered all necessary support, demonstrating genuine commitment to Gualapack’s success.

Rafael, Gualapack’s industrial manager, succinctly summarizes the transformation LiveMES brought to the company:

“LiveMES greatly changed the way data analysis is managed. Previously, one had to wait two days to analyze data, and now it’s all real time. Thus, decisions can be made faster and more accurately.”

Gualapack’s case is an inspiring example of how adopting innovative technologies can drive operational efficiency and foster a continuous improvement culture. By investing in LiveMES, the company not only improved its results but also strengthened its competitive position in the market.
