Implementación de un sistema automatizado para el proceso de llenado, tapado y paletizado de granos en frascos de cristal.

Abstract

The objective of this project was the development of an automated station that works as a largescale implementation model for a company where the basis of its operation is the execution of a stage of filling, capping and palletizing. This started based on the Industrial Automation principles, where the design of parts, the use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), programming at GRAFCET level, and flow charts were involved, which determined the signal sending to the system. The result that this approach generated showed 97% efficiency in its operation, which makes its scalability feasible for industrial environments. Also, one of the main elements was the sensors with effectiveness percentages of 98%, 97.5% and 98.33% in reading data, which were used to control each stage of the station by detecting the pallet and bottle. The efficiency of engines generated 100% reliability in its execution, whit a waiting time of 5 seconds for the activation of each one of them, as well as the Filling stage that generated 100% compliance in correlation with the process for the 12 bottles entered, the Capping stage 91.66% with 11 bottles and Palletizing stage 91.66% with 11 bottles, The volumetric quantity of grains was also considered for each container corresponding to 150g. The efficiency of the Human - Machine Interface (HMI) reached 100% after activating its stages in real time due to Ethernet communication with the PLC. Finally, it was concluded that the model developed had a lower cost in relation to those offered in the market and its construction is viable on a large scale. It is recommended its implementation in a technical and neat way to avoid possible inconvenience.
