Projeto de uma nova linha de produção de Indústria 4.0, com ênfase na mão de obra humana e sistemas robóticos, baseado em indicadores do método de simulação por gêmeos digitais

Abstract

This article presents the modeling and analysis of a new production line in the context of Industry 4.0, integrating technologies such as digital twins, collaborative robots (COBOTs), and command and supervision systems. Two scenarios are compared: a traditional production line operated exclusively by humans and an automated line with human-robot interaction. The research used Plant Simulation software to model and simulate these scenarios, evaluating indicators such as productivity, costs, operator fatigue, and safety. The results showed a significant increase in productivity, improved working conditions, and greater sustainability. Social and economic impacts were also discussed, emphasizing the need for workforce retraining and the promotion of safer and more ergonomic work environments.
