Description
Summary:This article presents the result of a research project whose objective was the design, development and implementation of a semi-automated environment for teaching and learning production processes in confection, formed with the use of a conveyor belt with discrete movements controlled by PLC, buttons at each station and software SCADA supervision. The environment allows Sena apprentices to be taught clothing, with a greater appropriation of concepts and useful manufacturing techniques slender, in a practical, playful and didactic way. The environment serves as a laboratory and is a reference as a production model for the clothing industry in Medellin. This model breaks paradigms of the use of automation in a sector in which productivity and quality depend largely on the ability of the operator, and in which the product reference changes are continuous due to in fashion.
