Desenvolvimento de um protótipo para monitoramento de condições de operação de um túnel de encolhimento

Abstract

Technological advances have grown worldwide and this could not be different in the industrial area. Therefore, the Industry 4.0 concept provides possible solutions that make all production processes smarter. In this way, preventive maintenance can minimize failures, production stoppages and the impact on the final cost. In this work, a prototype for monitoring the operating conditions of the shrink tunnel was implemented, in order to analyze the measurements in the activation of heating resistances, such as: voltage, current, power and number of activations. The construction of the prototype equivalent to the shrinking tunnel was carried out, monitoring the magnitudes of voltage, current and power, during a period of approximately 126 hours. In addition to the acquisition platform, a user interface and a database were also developed. Regarding the results obtained during the 14 days of monitoring, the values obtained are within the expected range. With the collected signals, it was possible to plot the graphs of voltage versus current obtained by monitoring the system, as well as ascertaining the linear behavior removed from the behavior during the monitoring period. The prototype proved to be satisfactory within the context of IoT applied to smart industry, especially in the matter of preventive maintenance of equipment and monitoring with a database.
