Revista de Gestão e Secretariado – GeSec, São José dos Pinhais, PR, v. 16, n. 5, p. 1-17, 2025. DOI: https://doi.org/10.7769/gesec.v16i5.4957.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/1175This research aims to investigate the technologies, methods, and challenges in the drying and curing process of paints and varnishes applied to reflective strips, focusing on implementing Industry 4.0-based solutions. It proposes an integrated hardware and software model to automatically detect the curing level through light radiation, along with a real-time control system to optimize the process. Among the evaluated technologies, ultraviolet light curing (photopolymerization) stands out, aiming to enhance industrial production with quality and efficiency.Automação IndustrialIndústria 4.0FotopolimerizaçãoRadiação UltravioletaInteligência ArtificialAutomation and Intelligent Control in Drying and Curing of Paints and Varnishes: Application of Industry 4.0ArtigoEngenharia Elétrica
