Abstract(s)
The unstoppable growth of technological solutions,
especially in relation to communication processes and industrial
environments, has led to the rise of the term Industry 4.0. In this
new reality, data converted into knowledge is the main protagonist. However, the existence of heterogeneous technologies results
in complex processes and ends up hindering the implementation
of new environments. In order to simplify this casuistry, this work
defines an agent-based system that integrates mature technologies
for the intercommunication of devices and de facto standards
such as Modbus, as well as state-of-the-art solutions related to
fields such as Computer Vision and other low-cost ones, such as
those provided by those based on IoT. Finally, a case study is
proposed that focuses on a circular economy model that, taking
advantage of the benefits of the described mechanisms and in a
simple way, shows the possibility of generating a positive impact
on the environment. Specifically, the case proposes mechanisms
for processing and sorting waste components - lithium batteries
- making it easier to give them a second life before they become
permanent and highly polluting waste.
