Abstract(s)
Num mercado cada vez mais competitivo e exigente, as indústrias são obrigadas a reformular
os seus métodos de trabalho em busca de encontrar alternativas que as permitam operar de
forma mais eficiente e que, consequentemente, resultem em reduções do tempo de produção,
reduções de consumos de energia e consequentemente redução dos custos de produção. Os
armazéns e a forma como são geridos são um importante fator a ter em conta no que toca ao
aumento do desempenho de uma nave fabril. Durante anos o setor do armazém foi de alguma
forma estagnado no tempo, sendo explorado sempre da mesma forma: manualmente. Contudo,
hoje em dia, os armazéns são, cada vez mais, o alvo de mudanças no sentido de os automatizar
e robotizar.
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver e melhorar o setor do armazém da Célula
Flexível de Fabrico (CFF) que se encontra instalada na Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão
de Viseu, tornando-o mais eficiente e rentável para a célula. No decorrer do estudo foram
desenvolvidos softwares para cada elemento constituinte da célula, robô industrial,
transportador, PLC e servidor web, de forma a desenvolver um sistema global fiável e de fácil
utilização.
Em complemento à CFF foi desenvolvida uma página web que permite ver, controlar e
monitorizar em tempo real todo o setor do armazém. Nela, o operador tem acesso a uma stream
da CFF e a todos os ficheiros criados relativos ao armazém, bem como a um menu que permite
enviar comandos remotamente para a célula. Ainda através do servidor web utilizado,
Raspberry Pi, foi possível desenvolver todo um software que permite o envio de correios
eletrónicos e mensagens de texto para telemóveis com informações uteis para os utilizadores
do sistema.
Este documento pretende, assim, mostrar toda a simbiose que envolve os elementos deste
sistema, desenvolvido para maximizar o potencial do setor do armazém da CFF.
ABSTRACT: In an increasingly competitive and demanding market, it is mandatory for industrialists to change working methods in order to find alternatives that allow them to operate more efficiently and consequently result in the reduction of production time, energy consumption and production costs. Warehouses and the way they are managed are an important factor for the increasement of a factory performance. For years, the warehouse sector has been, somehow, stopped in time, always being exploited in the same way: manually. However, nowadays warehouses are more and more being targeted for automation and robotization. The present work had as objective to develop and improve the warehouse sector of the Flexible Manufacturing Cells (FMC) that is on the Superior School of Technology and Management of Viseu, making it more efficient and profitable for the cell. In the course of the study, software was developed for each constituent element of the cell, industrial robot, transporter, PLC and web server, in order to integrate and control them. In addition to FMC, a web page has been developed and allows real-time control and monitoring of the entire warehouse sector. In it the operator has access to a FMC stream, all the files created relative to the warehouse and a menu that allows to send commands remotely to the cell. By further exploring the used server, Raspberry Pi, has been able to develop a software that allows sending emails and text messages to mobile phones with useful information about the cell for the system users. In this way, this document intends to show all the symbiosis that surrounds the elements of this system developed to maximize the potential of the warehouse sector of this FMC.
