Indústria 4.0 na prática a partir da integração da tecnologia de informação e tecnologia de automação: um estudo de caso de monitoramento dos ativos de automação em uma fábrica de celulose dos Campos Gerais (PR)

Abstract

One of the changes proposed by Industry 4.0, the integration between Information Technology (IT) and Automation Technology (TA), which promotes process efficiency, can bring risks and possibilities to the previously used automation network. Practically isolated from other areas. To remain secure and take advantage of the opportunities of this new integration, some protocols, layouts, control systems for monitoring and managing automation assets such as operating stations, servers, etc., should be addressed. Thus, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate how information technology and automation technology have been integrated by monitoring the assets of all automation to improve visibility in a pulp industry in Campos Gerais (PR). For this, it will be shown the real scenario of a company that is undergoing change today, with its gains and difficulties in this change management process and strong focus on maintaining asset availability. To illustrate this work, the case study was based on the application of open source tools for server and station management as well as advanced vulnerability monitoring solutions. After applying the case study, there was a gain in visibility and control of assets under the responsibility of automation (stations, servers, etc.), both in anticipation of failures in stations and servers, and in identifying vulnerabilities that travel in the TA network. In this case, while the changes are challenging, they bring with them a host of IT / TA items and tools that will provide downtime on automation assets in various areas and provide them with new improvement cycles.
