Desenvolvimento de um protótipo de gateway para coleta e transmissão de dados em sistemas de manuseamento de materiais - Gate Move 4.0

Abstract

Currently, material handling systems are fundamental in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, performing critical functions in the movement, storage, control, and protection of materials throughout production and distribution processes. With the advancement of digital technologies and the emergence of Industry 4.0, there is a growing need for more intelligent and interconnected systems capable of collecting and transmitting real-time data, thus improving operational efficiency and decision-making. The primary objective of this study was to develop a gateway prototype called Gate Move 4.0, designed to efficiently and reliably collect and transmit data in material handling systems. The methodology adopted for the development of Gate Move 4.0 was organized into several stages, including requirements analysis, selection of system architectures and communication protocols, and prototype development and validation. The study results showed that Gate Move 4.0 is a functional prototype, meeting the proposed objectives and demonstrating satisfactory performance under various operating conditions. The key findings include data collection efficiency, connectivity and flexibility, and a positive impact on operational efficiency. Thus, this research contributes to the evolution of these systems towards more intelligent and interconnected operations within the Industry 4.0 context.
