Melhoria da confiabilidade e disponibilidade de um robô paletizador de uma indústria de defensivos agrícolas por meio da análise de falhas

Abstract

In the current global industrial scenario, competitiveness and parity between companies are on the rise, which leads companies to look for more efficient and safer ways of carrying out their production processes, either by specializing the workforce involved or by improving these operations. This work applied failure analysis techniques by a team specially formed for this task at a pesticide company. With the proper application of quality improvement tools within a PDCA cycle, together with the methodology that helps classify which faults should be investigated and how, it is possible to identify the potential causes and root causes that led the item to fail, generating an action plan to reduce the occurrence of these faults in industrial machinery. It can be concluded that the implementation of these techniques has increased the availability and reliability of this equipment, and has probably resulted in a reduction in maintenance costs and an increase in production time.
