| Abstract |
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. |
