Estudo de caso: implementação de robô de soldagem em linha de produção

Abstract

Industrial automation has become a strategic tool for increasing productivity and ensuring and improving the quality of welding processes. Robotic welding, in particular, has been widely adopted in sectors such as automotive, metallurgical, and consumer goods, driven by the need for greater efficiency, cost reduction, and standardization of results. In this context, this study aims to report and analyze the implementation process of a welding robot in a production line, highlighting the preliminary studies, project planning, factory layout changes, equipment installation, and the training and qualification phase for operators and programmers. The research was developed through an applied case study, covering all the necessary steps for integrating the robot into the production environment.
