Abstract
The article presents an innovative prototype of a bottle packaging machine, framed in the context of industrial development and process automation.
The system is designed based on requirements that allow addressing common challenges in small and medium-sized business environments. The proposal stands out for its efficiency and affordability.
The system offers an economical alternative to expensive commercial production models. The implementation and testing of the system have shown 100 percent accuracy in counting and packaging bottles, leading to a reduction of operating costs.
The results show that the prototype, which has the capacity to process 16 bottles per minute, through the development of a PID controller synchronizes the arrival time of the bottles in the unloading area. The development cycle of the mechatronic system is complemented by software that, through a communication application, generates the user interface and production statistics through a client-server architecture using the HTTP communication protocol.
The system highlights a comprehensive solution, which has been developed, meeting the specific requirements of industrial automation in bottle packaging.
