Innovations Ensure Efficiency and Reliability in Port Operations
Ultracargo, a reference in logistics for liquid bulk, has implemented high-tech solutions such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and magnetic field analysis to enhance safety and efficiency at key terminals in Brazil. These innovations, applied at the ports of Itaqui (MA), Aratu (BA), and Santos (SP), represent a milestone for the industry, promoting a more robust and reliable operation.
Intelligent Monitoring Through AI
In a pioneering strategy, Ultracargo adopted advanced sensors on loading pumps to monitor vibrations and temperature variations. These sensors, suitable for hazardous environments, are integrated into an online monitoring platform that uses AI for data analysis and issuing proactive alerts, contributing to efficient predictive maintenance.
Innovation in Pipeline Inspection
The implementation of the Magnetic Memory Method (MMM) for inspecting underground pipelines is another significant step for the company. This methodology allows for the identification of changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, indicating possible corrosion without the need for excavations, resulting in significant savings in maintenance processes.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.
Drones as Allies of Security
By using drones equipped with high-resolution cameras for regular tank inspections, Ultracargo has replaced working-at-height procedures, providing not only greater safety for employees but also agility and precision in maintenance operations. The adoption of these unmanned aerial vehicles represents an estimated annual savings of R$ 1 million.
