Implementação e programação de uma IHM em um sistema de transportadores de carrocerias de uma linha de reparos de pintura em uma empresa automobilística do Sul Fluminense

Abstract

Efficient production processes rely on high levels of automation. With this in mind, this work is contextualized in the body paint repair sector of an automobile company with the main objective of implementing a Human Machine Interface (HMI) interconnected with the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) used in the area. The methodology adopted for the research included a case study, interconnection of the HMI system with the PLC, and monitoring and control tests. The implementation of the HMI changed the work routine of the company's employees, providing real-time monitoring of the bodies, traceability and generation of reports on the activities carried out. This work shows that the introduction of automation into the company's processes allows for greater interconnection between the different manufacturing stages and centralization of the data generated. The refined processing of this data generates strategic information for decision-making by senior management, as well as being an essential ally for operators to monitor and control activities directly on the shop floor.
