Implementación de un sistema automatizado para el ensamblaje de dos cuerpos base - tapa - pasador con control IioT utilizando una pasarela wecon v-box.

Abstract

In the industrial automation laboratory of FIE-ESPOCH, there has been observed a limited integration of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology. to implement an automated assembly system for two components, a Base and a cover with a pin, with IIoT control using the WECON V-BOX gateway. The applied methodology adopted a combined approach of qualitative and quantitative methods for instructional purposes. Each module's electrical, mechanical and pneumatic systems were designed for an efficient installation of automation equipment. The process control was carried out using two programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system Based on IIoT technology. The process involved placing a Pallet on a conveyor belt using optical and magnetic sensors and pneumatic cylinders to position the parts at specific points that move through the first module. There, the Base and the cover were assembled. Then, the product passes to the second module, where a pin is mounted to secure the Base and the cover. Finally, a SCADA system was implemented on the V-Net platform of the WECON V-BOX gateway to monitor and control both modules, allowing visualization and monitoring of the process from any device with an internet connection. This methodology successfully implemented the automated assembly system of two components with IIoT control, aiming to train future professionals in the field of Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0. It is concluded that the project meets the established parameters and will serve as a foundation for future generations involved in IIoT-related projects.
