Digitalização na Indústria 4.0 - Análise de Digitalização de Fábricas: Implementação de Sistemas de Monitoramento, Coleta de Dados e Automação.

Abstract

Industry 4.0 represents a technological revolution in manufacturing operations, focusing on digitization and automation to optimize production. This study proposes a methodology for implementing monitoring and data collection systems in digital factories, emphasizing the use of the OPC UA protocol on the Siemens S7 1200 PLC. Through the installation of sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms, the aim is to gain real-time insights into processes, enhancing operational efficiency. In the Instrumentation Laboratory at PUC Goiás, the research demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating diverse systems via OPC UA, highlighting the configurational capability of the OPC UA server on the Siemens S7 1200 PLC. Using the Prosys OPC UA Monitor as a supervisory system, the study validated the possibility of integrating systems from different suppliers, providing robust, standardized, secure, and scalable solutions. However, the digitization journey presents challenges, including infrastructure investments and concerns about data security. In conclusion, this work not only successfully achieved its initial objectives but also underscored the ongoing importance of technological advancements for efficient and secure system integration in the era of Industry 4.0.
