Abstract

This proposal is aimed at the research and development of temperature supervision for kilns and drying chambers (ovens) in red ceramic industries (blocks, floor tiles, roof tiles and ceramic pipes). It is intended, in this way, to achieve an improvement in quality, a reduction in cost and the training of professionals in this type of industry. The project will consist of: 1) microprocessed digital temperature indicators and controllers with serial communication and via radio frequency; 2) serial communication units via radio frequency for the collection and sending of data; and 3) supervision software for the monitoring and control of firing and drying of the material (clay), collection of data and formulation of technical guidelines for quality. The implementation of this project requires field work with research in different localities, since ceramics activity is present throughout the country. In this way it will be possible to become acquainted with particular methods of every region, which should lead to a standardized system which optimizes the production process. The option for sending data via radio signal makes the installation, the operational control and maintenance of the system more practical. (AU)
