Implementação de um protótipo para análise de parâmetros funcionais aplicado à unidades hidráulicas industriais

Abstract

The increase in production capacity and the demand for more elaborated products, is driving the use of tools for analyzing the operational conditions of industrial production processes. This analysis is related to the concept of Industry 4.0, where information about the operating conditions of equipment and processes is obtained. With this information, operating patterns and behaviors are determined e ectively, thus predicting future failures and critical points of operation. Through this, the preventive maintenance process becomes opportune and agile, reducing the time of stopped machines, thus ncreasing productivity. Based on these motivational issues, a prototype for the analysis of functional parameters is developed, applied to industrial hydraulic units. A prototype was built capable of measuring and monitoring operational conditions, obtaining data through sensors, transmitting them and storing them in a database. The implemented methodology makes it possible to analyze the information in the database, making it possible to determine the behaviors and functional patterns through a supervisory system. The implemented supervisory system presents, in a graphic and interactive way, the operating conditions of the hydraulic unit, issuing abnormalities alerts, based on the nominal conditions informed by the user. For signal extraction, sensor modules were developed based on the plug-and-play concept. After obtaining the data, transfer and registration to a database occurs automatically and wirelessly, where they are stored for later analysis.
