Abstract Context: This paper describes the results of a technological diagnostic process aimed to identify the level of incorporation of programmable devices (e.g. microcontrollers) and programmable logic devices (e.g. CPLDs and FPGAs) in the productive processes of the panela agro-industrial sector in the Department of Boyacá. It should be noted that the agro-industrial sector is one of the largest contributors to the gross domestic product of the department and is one of the most prioritized in terms of business potential and favorable economic environment according to the Departmental Strategic Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation of the Department of Boyacá. Method: The methodology used consists on to obtain a technological inventory (machines, equipment and IT infrastructure) and identify the technological assets of the related companies. Results: During the information collection phase, four panela producer companies were visited, all of them located in the Hoya del Rio Suarez region, of which it was found that only one presents a high degree of automation of its production processes, while the others have a very low or no automation. The literature review evidenced that there are several publications in indexed journals that describe important contributions on the development of the agro-industrial sector of panela, although none of them are made by universities of the department. In the analysis stage, the weaknesses and opportunities of the companies dedicated to producing panela in Boyacá were identified. Conclusions: All of the above allowed defining a set of proposals for the incorporation of programmable technologies in the development of research projects aimed at meeting the real needs of the companies producing panela in the Department of Boyacá, both in the improvement of production processes as in the working conditions of the persons devoted to these tasks.
