Implementação de uma planta didática para o ensino de engenharia no contexto da educação 4.0

Abstract

The arrival of industry 4.0 and the insertion of new technologies in the daily life of society brought countless changes in many areas, including one that in itself is already a factor of transformation in society: education. With that in mind, this work will focus on the teaching of engineering in the 4.0 context, presenting a proposal for the development of a modular didactic plant, which will be located at UTFPR, but being accessed and controlled by students from anywhere through a remote system, thus expanding and facilitating access to practices and experiments with industry 4.0 concepts without the need for displacement or having physical interaction with the university. The elaboration of this proposal consists in the construction of an environment that enables the execution of experiments in which the enabling technologies of industry 4.0 are inserted. In order to carry out the validation for the concept, the tuning of a PID plant – Arduino parameterized from the web – was performed, using the Raspberry Pi as a fog computing tool and using network protocols to perform the remote control. It is expected that, after implementation, the students of this university will be able to carry out and control experiments from anywhere with internet access.
