Projecto de sistema de despaletização automática para a linha de enchimento de latas (linha 2) para a Cervejas de Moçambique, SA.

Abstract

Automation is one of the fields that has seen the most significant advancements in recent decades and continues to progress on a large scale, being one of the main driving forces behind industrial modernization and increased efficiency across various sectors. Accordingly, the brewing industry also benefits from the developments achieved in this area. This project focuses on the development of an Automatic Depalletizing System for the Can Filling Line 2 at the Cervejas de Moçambique, S.A. (CDM) factory. The proposal arises from the need to replace manual operations with more efficient, safer, and fully integrated automatic solutions, in order to support production growth and reduce operational failures. In this context, the entire project is guided by the principle of process management, aiming to ensure better use of available resources while increasing both productivity and quality. This system will be designed to adapt to the existing conditions of the production line, taking advantage of the already installed infrastructure and, most importantly, the Siemens S7-300 PLC, currently used in the automation of Line 2.
