Sistema Inteligente Ágil de Processo Evolutivo - SIAPE: um protótipo brasileiro de sistemas EPS

Abstract

Manufacturing emerging paradigms have been used in an attempt to solve the problem of customization, i.e. the manufacture of products with mid and low batches and high variability. Namely Evolvable Production Systems (EPS) has been able to address the problem through the concept of mechatronics agents and a reversal of the local where intelligence (the production process) is in th the manufacturing system. However, there are still many gaps and barriers for the widespread use of EPS, namely the real prototypes that address the concepts of evolvable systems. This work presents the development of an evolvable system called Agile Intelligent System for Evolvable Process (SIAPE), which aimed adpats to demand variations and the evolution of the production system according to the changing of the product. To test the viability of SIAPE was first created a simplified automation prototype called Product UFAM which is compared with the SIAPE prototype itself among their compliance with the requirements of Industry Platform 4.0 (i4.0).
