Many industrial sectors still lack automation resources to optimize their production processes, aiming to make manufacturing leaner and offer better working conditions to operators. Without these improvements, workers can suffer physical and even psychological damage from the ergonomic risks of the activities performed. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the ergonomic evaluation of packaging tapes workstation before and after the implementation of an automatic packaging machine, called Guzzetti. In the Guzzetti context, the paper shows the implementation of an electrical system based on controlling a mechanical device powered by servomotors and controlled by a PLC is necessary. For ergonomic evaluation, the paper presents the application of three methods: Suzanne Rodger, Strain Index, called Moore and Garg and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment). With the results collection, was possible to obtain improvements in ergonomic risks that changed from the intermediate level to low level in all methods.
A evolução de tecnologias para automação de processos produtivos está possibilitando o desenvolvimento contínuo dos setores industriais ao longo do século. Contudo, algumas empresas ainda utilizam a manufatura como método de produção em alguns setores. Com isso, a demanda por tecnologias que permitem automatizar determinadas atividades nesse âmbito vem crescendo, como o caso do Polo Industrial de Manaus. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar o desenvolvimento de uma solução tecnológica para uma empresa do Polo Industrial de Manaus, do segmento de fitas adesivas, com o intuito de substituir a operação manual de embalagem de fitas por um maquinário capaz de alocar diversos modelos de fitas já rotuladas em caixas de papelão padronizadas de forma automática.
