The Project Used at YPF’s Factory Started 5 Years Ago and Has Already Quadrupled the Company’s Automotive Lubricant Production Capacity

YPF, the Argentine multinational dedicated to the exploration, refining, and sale of oil and its derivatives, announced that it will restructure its factory in the country and make it more digital, in a reform with an estimated value of R$ 48 million in investments. Named “Future Plant,” the project, which started five years ago, has already quadrupled the company’s production capacity.

Increase in Production Capacity of Its Unit in Brazil

According to information released by the PetroNotícias portal, the project, which started five years ago, has already quadrupled the company’s production capacity at its factory, which previously produced about 1 million liters of automotive lubricants per month and now can reach the same amount in just one week of operation. By 2023, the expectation is to reach a mark of 10,000 cubic meters per month.

The technological improvements have allowed, in addition to the increase in production capacity, a reduction in errors caused by human actions through the inclusion of proactive machines and robots that not only prevent mistakes but also assist in the identification process of them. Another concern of YPF Brazil is the sustainable impact of the new factory on the environment. Currently, the company consumes 500 grams of liquefied petroleum gas to produce one cubic meter of lubricant, while competitors consume about 2 kilograms to produce the same amount of final product.

Job Creation and Technology Investments in the Factory

According to the PetroNotícias portal, Fábio Lopes, industrial operations manager at YPF Brazil, said that with the expectation of having an increasingly intelligent and productive factory, the arrival of people from the fields of statistics, programming, and process engineering becomes an essential necessity to achieve these goals.

Although still under development, the reality brought by the changes in the factory’s layout is already included in the daily routine of the company’s employees. “Technology is important, but the people in this new structure we have built are the key to our success. We talk about Industry 4.0, but to be honest, I think the ideal is to build a plant where humans and technology can work side by side,” Fábio concludes. The first intelligent production line is the result of improvements from the “Future Plant” project and is scheduled to launch in December 2021.
