Abstract

Day after day the requirements of the industry and the market are more demanding, and need on the part of the companies an every time better service and to the major speed. It is for this reason that the companies see in the need to automate their processes to be increasingly competitive. The present project has as aim design an automatic system for the transport of molds of smelting from the zone of storage up to the zone of strained in the company Mechanical Services and Metallurgical, the same that is located in Otavalo's city. The system will have to optimize the utilization of the resources of the company, emphasizing it the suitable utilization of the physical space and the time. The molds transportation will be done by two cars: one responsible for hosting the mold (mold car), and another which will move the assembly to the casting area (transport car). The cars are going to move trough rails. The automation will use a PLC, that is in charge of control an electric motor, sensors, and pneumatic cylinders.
