Sucre: a savanna economy, not a smokestack one
Sincelejo and Sucre department have an industrial matrix unlike Cartagena or Barranquilla: the backbone here is extensive livestock —Sucre is one of the country’s most important livestock corridors— agroindustry (rice, cassava, palm, fruit, dairy), processing and packing plants, and a logistics and coastal component associated with the Golfo de Morrosquillo (Coveñas, Tolú). As in Córdoba, the operation is spread across hundreds of kilometers of savanna, with variable cellular coverage and high logistics costs.
Sucre’s real industrial pattern, then, doesn’t look like an industrial park; it looks like a distributed operation where performance depends on how well the data is captured on site and how fast it reaches the people who decide.
Areas where we contribute
- Livestock and dairy: milk tank telemetry, weighing and traceability, drinker and feeder sensors, milking parlor and collection center monitoring.
- Agroindustry and processing plants: scale, packing line and batch process integration with ERP (SAP, Oracle), cold room and freezing tunnel monitoring with multi-channel alerts and HACCP/GMP reports, and a data warehouse with operational KPIs.
- Rural connectivity: at sites where cellular isn’t viable we deploy Starlink with bonding/SD-WAN and hybrid LTE + satellite links. For distributed assets (tanks, fences, irrigation equipment) we use LoRaWAN and NB-IoT with long-range gateways.
- Logistics and coast: fleet telemetry, fuel and water tank level sensors, utility monitoring and tourism/hotel operations in the Coveñas–Tolú corridor.
Analytics and AI on what’s already captured
A lot of Sucre operations already generate data: scales, partial telemetry, operational sheets. The missing step usually isn’t more instrumentation, it’s turning that history into decisions: anomaly detection on time series, predictive maintenance on critical equipment, and executive reporting that replaces the Monday Excel. On existing CCTV, you can also apply vision models for headcount, PPE and yard intrusion.
Based in Bolívar, covering Sucre
We operate from Turbaco (Bolívar), just over two hours from Sincelejo. We coordinate on-site visits for surveys, commissioning and field support, while keeping monitoring and alarm handling running remotely 24/7. For distributed Sucre operations the model is the same: local presence when it’s needed, remote operations when it isn’t.
