Desenvolvimento e implementação de um sistema de controle e monitoramento remoto no contexto da Indústria 4.0

Abstract

The constant search for process optimization has been the main agent in the development of new technologies aimed at improving the performance of industrial production lines. In this context, this work proposes to raise some important concepts of the so-called Industry 4.0 (I4.0), such as IoT, Big Data and Cloud Computing. Furthermore, it presents the development of a remote, secure, scalable, non-invasive and low-cost control and monitoring system, responsible for monitoring performance indicators in industrial plants that support the Modbus TCP protocol. Its main objective is to provide a simple but robust solution, capable of integrating both modern and legacy systems to the new reality of I4.0, and thus assist in decision-making that can cooperate with greater equipment efficiency and, consequently, also improve the end result of productivity and profitability in industrial production. This system also has the ability to automate some processes, such as controlling actuators or sending messages via e-mail/SMS when any parameter exceeds a predetermined limit.
