Manaus, 2025.http://repositorio.ifam.edu.br/jspui/handle/4321/1817This work addresses the proposal for automating the guarana seed dehydration machine at Fazenda Maués, a branch of Cibea Manaus. The farm, recognized for producing high-quality guarana since 2009, incorporated a new machine into its production system in 2022, modernizing the dehydration process, which is essential for ensuring the quality and viability of the seeds. The automation proposal includes a closed-loop control system, in which the temperature and uniformity of the dehydration would be continuously monitored by sensors. This data would allow for real-time automatic adjustments, ensuring that the temperature remains within the desired limits, which is crucial for the quality of the final product. The PID (Proportional-IntegralDerivative) controller would be the central component of this system, regulating the fan speed and ensuring uniform dehydration. The adoption of this technology is expected to bring significant improvements in terms of efficiency, precision in process control, and sustainability, reducing energy waste and operation time. Closed-loop automation has the potential to raise control and quality standards in the dehydration of guarana seeds, representing a significant advancement in the local agribusiness. Therefore, this work aims to contribute to the understanding of the proposed innovations in guarana industry automation, highlighting its importance for modernization and quality in production.Acesso AbertoAutomaçãoMonitoramentoProporcional Integral Derivativo - PID - controleEficiênciaInovaçãoAutomationAutomatização - indústria alimentíciaCNPQ::OUTROS::ENGENHARIA MECATRONICATrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
