Estudo sobre a implantação de uma ferramenta MES (Manufacturing Execution System) em linhas de envase de uma indústria de processamento de óleos e gorduras

Abstract

This work presents a case study on the implementation of a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) tool in an oil and fat processing industry. The project was developed in the city of Itumbiara, the factory already had PLCs (programmable logic controllers) in operation, and it was observed that there was some information lost during the process. With some studies and benchmarking carried out, it was then decided to hire a specialized company to implement the tool, in which there was full participation of managers, area supervisors, process analysts and the Smart Manufacturing team to collect information to compose the lists of data requirements for the tool. The project team worked to provide the necessary infrastructure for implementation, as well as configurations in the PLC and insertion of TAGs in the OPC Server. Through these configurations and with the aim of analyzing the benefits and changes generated in the packaging sector, this work contributed by demonstrating improvements in production processes through the collection and analysis of data in real time, elimination of electronic spreadsheets and use of paper, ensuring greater reliability in decision-making by managers, the ability to apply this type of tool was proven, highlighting the potential of this line of study.
