Sistema de tratamento de dados de um protótipo de unidade de bombeio mecânico utilizando a plataforma PIMS

Abstract

The industrial revolution during the mid-eighteenth century, brought new perspectives and opened a wide horizon for innovations related to the mechanization of manual tasks. As technology was evolving, it became increasingly important to gain greater control and knowledge about the manufacturing process. These were the first steps for automation to reach the current stage of development, increasingly involving and integrating processes "shop floor" with the strategic management decisions. In the late twentieth century the Industry was in a more and more competitive and dynamic scenario. This stimulated major investments in automation and information system in order to respond the request for products with lower cost, high quality and short production periods. With this demand several software able to integrate the different layers of an organization were developed. Currently this integration can be achieved through the use of systems such as Manufac turing Execution Systems (MES), Process Information Management System (PIMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The use of different systems and suppliers, however brought interoperability problems. The solution was the development of an open standard for communication protocols as alternative for proprietary drivers, resulting in the OPC standard (OLE for Process Control). The PIMS, object of this work, covers a group of softwares able to manage the acquisition, storage and display of data from different sources in a productive system and is widely used in various types of industrial process. One of the most important aspects on the PIMS system is their ability of handling a large number of data and transform them into information and knowledge, adding value to the raw data. This case study will present concepts of automation and industrial control including supervisory systems, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), OPC standard and the implementation of a PIMS environment using the PI, OSIsoft. Will be described the steps and resources needed to implement the PI on a Sucker Rod Pump prototype, simulating a real industrial application.
