Smart Gateway 4.0: Prototipagem de dispositivo inteligente para controladoras de fator de potência como estratégia para avanço da maturidade digital através de IoT e Edge Computing em sistemas de gestão de energia

Abstract

The advancement of Industry 4.0 technologies and the demand for energy efficiency require innovative solutions in electric energy management. This dissertation develops the SMART GATEWAY 4.0, an intelligent gateway prototype for power factor controllers, using IoT and Edge Computing. The goal is to optimize the commissioning and management of these controllers and elevate the digital maturity level of industries according to the ACATECH Industry 4.0 Maturity Index. Communication was carried out using Modbus, HTTP, and REST API protocols. Results demonstrated that SMART GATEWAY 4.0 significantly improves energy management efficiency, fostering the digitalization and automation of energy-related industrial processes.
