Análise de viabilidade econômica para uma empresa no setor de ferramentaria para adequação à indústria 4.0

Abstract

The tooling industry faces increasing challenges to remain competitive and ensure productive efficiency, especially given the need for modernization and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, which require significant investment but are essential for process optimization and market differentiation. Technologies such as additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced automation, and artificial intelligence have been transforming the industry, providing greater precision, flexibility, and even waste reduction. In the tooling sector, the adoption of modern equipment plays a crucial role by enabling more complex machining with fewer setups, increasing productivity, reducing waste, and lowering operational costs. In this context, this study analyzes the economic feasibility of implementing a 5-axis machine in a company within the sector, assessing its financial and productive impact. To achieve this, a business plan was developed based on the SEBRAE model, incorporating major financial tools to support the investment decision. The research adopts a quantitative-qualitative approach, combining financial data collection and a literature review on investment analysis methods. Metrics such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback, among others, were applied to provide a detailed evaluation of the expected outcomes. The analysis results offer insights into the financial impacts of adopting this technology, supporting strategic decision-making regarding equipment acquisition. It is concluded that the implementation of this technology is economically viable and can significantly enhance the company’s competitiveness.
