Simulación de un proceso de molienda de balanceado para camarón usando las herramientas PLCSIM y TIA PORTAL

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to improve visualization, product quality and safety at all stages of the grinding process, through an intuitive and efficient user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). UI/UX refers to the design and usability of the software interface, ensuring that it is easy for operators to understand and use. The project not only seeks to meet quality standards for shrimp feed, but also to effectively simulate the milling process to understand it in detail and optimize technical assistance in the feed industry. This project consists of simulating the balanced food production process, which includes stages such as mixing, palletizing, extrusion, cooling and drying, and bagging. The simulation is carried out using programmable logic controllers (PLC), which emulate the operation of sensors and control mechanisms at each stage. This allows for complete analysis and proper adjustments of process variables. In the simulation of the grinding process, a PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller is implemented to optimize the performance and stability of operations in real time. The integration of this controller simulation allows for more precise regulation of process parameters, such as drying temperature. The simulated system aims to provide an easy and practical alternative to visualize the stages of the process in a more intuitive and visual way for technical and final personnel. This drives operational efficiency and informed decision making. Therefore, it is crucial to develop solutions that enable accurate simulation and intuitive visualization of the grinding process.
