Applus+ optimizes the electrical system at the warehouse of a food Industry client in Panama

The project scope included electrical engineering services and electrical testing, complemented by infrared thermography inspections, specialized cleaning of panels and transformers, correction of electrical anomalies, and power quality assessments. These activities enabled the identification of critical points, failure prevention, and the maintenance of equipment in optimal operating conditions. Advanced technical tasks included insulation resistance measurements, polarization index testing, and transformer turns ratio testing, as well as the cleaning of windings with dielectric solvent to remove contaminants.

The project was executed under strict safety protocols, minimizing risks associated with live work and confined spaces. This included the use of specialized personal protective equipment and the implementation of mitigation measures at each stage of the process.

The results were significant: unexpected production stoppages were reduced, the lifespan of the equipment was extended, and both worker safety and industrial operations quality were improved. These key benefits had a positive impact on client satisfaction and strengthened the reliability of their electrical systems.

Additionally, as part of the client’s expansion plan, Applus+ has conducted studies on energy consumption and will undertake design, construction, and installation projects to optimize and expand operations.

To ensure transparency and facilitate decision-making, the results and progress of the project were presented to the client through detailed technical reports. These reports included a complete description of the activities performed, photographic records, analysis of the obtained results, and specific recommendations to ensure operational continuity and continuous improvement of the equipment.
