The aim of this project is to develop an industrial automation system using robotic manipulators to solve problems involving production lines. Using a varied set of devices such as robots, sensors, process controllers and specialized software, this area allows complex systems to operate efficiently and precisely, minimizing the need for human intervention.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES:
- Process Control: Adjustment of reactor variables in the operation of oil refineries and chemical industries in general;
- Sorting and Packaging: Automated systems for sorting and filling products on a production line;
- Quality Control: Inspection for defects or contamination in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
MANDATORY RESOURCES:
- Presence of human operators to monitor the automated process;
- Communication network (Wifi or Bluetooth) at the installation site;
- At least one computer to support the operation of the automation system and the presentation of the human-machine interface;
- Serial-chain robotic manipulators (robotic arms);
- Sensors suitable for measuring the process in question (temperature, pressure, presence of volatile gases, distance, etc);
- Microcontrollers for processing sensor signals and interfacing with actuators;
