Sistema ciberfísico na indústria 4.0 - aplicado em testes de deficiência dielétrica em unidades evaporadoras de aparelhos de ar condicionado

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) have played a central role in the digital transformation of Industry 4.0, especially in industrial sectors such as HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). This study presents the application of CPS in the dielectric strength test of air conditioning evaporators, an essential component for the safety and efficiency of equipment. The main objective was to model an automated control system that integrates CPS to monitor and optimize dielectric tests, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. The research included mapping the electronic testing process, identifying operational bottlenecks, gathering requirements for system modeling and comparative evaluation between traditional and automated methods. The proposed system integrates SCARA robots, industrial vision cameras and HIPOT devices, controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The results indicate significant improvements in accuracy, safety, efficiency and traceability, reinforcing the potential of adopting CPS for critical industrial processes.
