Indústria 4.0 e suas aplicações no processamento de tabaco

Abstract

The consumption of tobacco leaves has spread in most European countries and other nations since the fifteenth century. the beginning of the twentieth century was marked by intense economic globalization and expansion of a technical-scientific and informational environment that led to changes in organizations and in the dynamics of development of the world tobacco market. Thus, the tobacco industry is now accompanied by a growing modernization of the production process, aiming at increasing production and productivity. Industry 4.0 is based on innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and big data. These technologies enable the creation of highly autonomous and customizable systems without compromising the advantages of mass production. Thus, the objective of this work was to employ an artificial intelligence that was able to learn from the process data and evaluate its assertiveness in a stage of tobacco processing in an industry. With the completion of the project it was possible to obtain savings of more than R$ 500,000.00 / year, making the process more robust, effective, customized and autonomous.
