Diseño y simulación de un proceso de llenado, pesaje y sellado de recipientes para lubricantes industriales mediante PLC, HMI y pasarela IOT2040

Abstract

In this Degree Project, an automated process for filling, weighing, and sealing industrial lubricant containers was designed and simulated. In contrast to commonly used semi-automated systems—which rely heavily on the operator—the proposed solution aims to improve accuracy, traceability, and process supervision. To achieve this, the control logic was developed in a PLC, an HMI was built to visualize and monitor each stage, and an IoT2040 gateway was integrated for real-time data acquisition and management. Finally, the simulation made it possible to verify the sequential execution of the phases and to evaluate the system’s overall performance under an approach aligned with industrial automation and Industry 4.0.
