Desenvolvimento de um sistema automatizado para processos de armazenagem de grãos

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) aims to develop an automated system for grain storage processes, in view of the lack of technological innovations and automated processes in this sector, in order to guarantee greater product quality and increase the capacity of production of the industrial plant in question. To do so, it is necessary to build an automation system for grain storage, specify sensors and I/O modules to ensure communication with the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and develop a working logic that must be implemented in the PLC. Thus, an applied research was carried out seeking to develop knowledge for a practical application, with the aim of generating solutions for specific problems. In view of this, it appears that the results presented point to changes in production capacity and a decrease in equipment maintenance time, which demonstrates the importance of automation in grain storage systems.
