Sistema de control y monitorización del proceso de limpieza automática de gavetas plásticas empleadas en el sector alimenticio

Abstract

At the industrial level, the correct management of work operations is essential, since a bad intervention on the processing method can cause monetary losses, for this reason, the proposal of a washing machine for plastic drawers was analyzed, capable of remove impurities that adhere and are present on the surfaces of the production line. During the development of the prototype, it was essential to determine the control systems required for real-time monitoring of the automatic washing of the plastic drawers. Using the Tía Portal software, the process sequence was developed and entered into the PLC 1200, identifying the data input and output variables, giving priority to the time spent for a drawer, with a total of 1 minute and 57 seconds. Through the IoT tool developed in Ubidots, the monitoring of the historical data of the piston, the roller, the water pump and the number of outputs of plastic drawers was proposed, obtaining inputs and outputs, without interruptions or failures, resulting in the 100% successful processes. Finally, the display programmed in the Tía Portal software shows the historical data of the time, temperature and flow sensors, according to the setpoints that were previously programmed
