Abstract

Sustainability is a concept considered fundamental for the future of companies. In the industrial sector, the application of this concept is associated to the monitoring and control of parameters that characterize the degree of sustainability of a productive process. In this context, several types of indicators are being defined, but there is no information on how to implement the data acquisition for calculating these indicators, especially when considering the distributed and dispersed nature of current productive systems. Based on a proposal of a framework for sustainable dispersed productive system (SuDPS), the objective of this project is to implement in practice a system of data acquisition for calculation of the sustainability indicators of a SuDPS.
