Desenvolvimento de um sistema inteligente para secagem e cura autônoma na fabricação de produtos autoadesivos

Abstract

The production of reflective strips requires high precision and efficiency, especially for traffic signage and automotive applications. However, traditional drying and curing methods for chemical layers, such as paints and varnishes, rely on long outdoor periods, compromising product quality and reducing productivity. This study proposes the development of an integrated hardware and software model that allows automatic detection of the curing level, using controlled light radiation sources to accelerate the drying process and ensure greater uniformity. The research includes the creation of a controlled environment prototype and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) monitoring system to optimize industrial production. The theoretical foundation is based on the application of ultraviolet (UV) photopolymerization technology, aiming to improve product quality, production efficiency, and process sustainability.
