Digital transformation in the Manaus Industrial Hub (PIM): development and implementation of an electronic Kanban system using Artificial Intelligence for production optimization and sequencing in a PIM tape company

Abstract

This article presents the development and implementation of an electronic Kanban system with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a company in the Manaus Industrial Estate (PIM). The research, based on Industry 4.0 principles, aimed to optimize production order sequencing and promote greater operational efficiency, process integration, and cost reduction. Using an applied and exploratory approach, quantitative and qualitative methods were used to identify bottlenecks and develop technological solutions aligned with the company’s needs. The results showed a 67% reduction in order entry time, a 22% increase in Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), and an 18% drop in non-conformities. This study highlights the transformative potential of digitalization and automation for PIM companies.
