MONITORAMENTO NA RECICLAGEM DE SOLVENTES INDUSTRIAIS: UMA ABORDAGEM BASEADA EM DADOS

Abstract

The reported work is a compilation of insights and perspectives derived from the experiences gained during the curricular internship at Videplast, a plastic packaging company, in the Printing sector. It focused on the development, maintenance, and monitoring of one of the secondary processes in the flexographic printing chain, specifically the recycling of solvents used in the process. This report aims to describe the recycling process, its importance, the intern's role, and the developments involved. It covers data collection through software, records, and the synthesis of graphical reports for monitoring and decision-making. The relevance of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Key Result Indicators (KRIs), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) programs such as System Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP), as well as Business Intelligence (BI) software, is emphasized for handling large data volumes and addressing the challenge of a lack of compelling data storytelling. In summary, the work focuses on experiences related to the solvent recycling process using a solvent regenerator, the solvent's properties, its use in the process, the costs associated with purchasing new/clean solvent, and the development of metrics and dashboards to monitor the process.
