Abstract

This article is related to the concept of Industry 4.0, both for the automation of manufacturing processes and for the automation of production management processes, in order to allow an improvement of performance and productivity. For its production management, based on “leagile” principles. At the industrial center of Manaus (PIM), there are around 900 companies, many multinational companies, these companies have the same intention: to produce more, by spending less. In general, globalized companies want to invest in innovation, which are technologies, inventions, products, and ideas. In most of the large companies, there are areas dedicated to innovation like research and development laboratories that rely on several researchers. This work is business-centric and it interacts with research institutes such as the Manus Institute of Technology (MIT). In developed countries, the agreement between companies and universities is the center of innovation. It is by means of which technologies, inventions, products, and finally, ideas, arrive at the market. The objective of this work is to identify and make improvements/automation in the factory floor of companies, based on Lean Production, aiming the maximum production and efficiency in the process to increase the quality of the final product. For this matter, a production line with the philosophy of lean versus agile production will be developed in this project. This production line will feature an electronic system controlled by ARM high-performance A9 cortex processors that will be responsible for the control of all production line.
