This study describes the development of automation for a bauxite reclaimer at Hydro Alumina refinery in Barcarena-PA, aiming to improve the machine's energy efficiency. Automation was achieved through the installation of position sensors and the implementation of automatic operation programming, leading to reduced energy costs, lower maintenance demands, and extended equipment lifespan. The return on investment was estimated at less than three years.
