Automation and Intelligent Control in Drying and Curing of Paints and Varnishes: Application of Industry 4.0. Revista de Gestão e Secretariado – GeSec, São José dos Pinhais, v. 16, n. 5, p. 01-17, 2025. DOI: 10.7769/gesec.v16i5.4957.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/1190This study investigates the technologies, methods and challenges involved in drying and curing paints and varnishes applied to reflective strips, with emphasis on Industry 4.0-based solutions. It proposes an integrated hardware–software model for automatic detection of curing level through light radiation. A controlled-environment prototype and real-time control system aim to optimize the process, accelerate UV photopolymerization and improve product quality.pdf.automação industrialIndústria 4.0fotopolimerizaçãoradiação ultravioletasecagem de tintasArtigoEngenharia Elétrica
