What is innovation for us?

We are a technical advisory company with an emphasis on the cement industry, whose mission is to optimize the customer's resources for the development of a green field plant or an existing plant in its production processes, focused on reducing costs and thus guaranteeing a final product with competitive value.

Formed by a group of technicians and professionals in different engineering disciplines, with high experience in the cement industry, we stand out for carrying out the evaluations, taking into account the process management of your business, offering our customers, perform a logical engineering of Material Flow, Personnel Flow and Information Flow, to obtain a reduction of the support processes with the characterization of your company in a clear and concise way. We design your company's business information system, using artificial intelligence to organize past, present and visualize the future with optimal processing of existing or to create data resources.

Our company consists of technicians specialized in the Cement industry from Cementos Argos and Cemex, whose main core originates in Colombia, Dominican Republic and Mexico. We have worked with FLS, CITIC of China and ThyssenKrupp old Polysius. We update physical and chemical laboratories to improve Quality Management, managing quality data online with analytics. We have a team of specialized engineers structured in several Managements:

• Project Management
• Commissioning Management
• Optimization Management
• Information Management
• Professional Training Management
• Quality Management
• Operations Management

Our target market is cement companies in their entirety for new projects and for existing plants that somehow require an improvement of their production, strategic and support processes. In new projects, we can participate from the beginning in the elaboration of the engineering for its construction and subsequent operation. When offering Information Engineering services, we include the Operation phase, which is generally not taken into account during construction.

Cement 4.0 offers the commissioning, optimization, market studies and information engineering services in the cement sector. By doing engineering work, we focus on reducing costs with greater technical knowledge of cement and professional execution of our activities.

Our advisory services include:
• Selection and evaluation of supply proponents either full or partial plant.
• Budget preparation.
• Production Cost Analysis.
• Development of Basic and Detailed Engineering for complete plants.
• Preparation of technical specifications of equipment and systems/
• Audit of a good implementation of the project.
• Pre-Commissioning, Plant Commissioning.

• Crude oil design for the manufacture of various types of cement.
• Formación técnica y capacitación en la Gestión de las Operaciones.

Our Business Plan aims to solve the problems we see in the vast majority of cement plants, which have application-da technology, but lack good analysis of their processes and the correct application of them to reduce the costs of so that the final product is competitive. Process Management helps us eliminate repetitive tasks that do not add value to the final product, eliminating processes or redesigning them, helps us define a clear vision and mission of the business, directing the daily work with objectives to end customer satisfaction.

The application of Cement 4.0 technologies will generate a better product, it is the case of applying Proactive Industrial Security with Information Technologies such as "Machine Learning" and "Image Processing". Use of the cell phone as a work tool, developing applications that evaluate and report the Online Process and that generate online knowledge.

We offer software products and advise on the use of information technologies to add value, eliminate tasks or procedures that contribute nothing to the final product. Our customers will receive the benefit of reducing costs, having online information and/ or knowledge of their production processes, performing productive work eliminating routine tasks that have nothing to do with innovation.
