Transformação digital por meio de controladores lógicos programáveis e sistemas de controle distribuído para análise estratégica de ROI e produtividade industrial
Abstrak
Companies face increasing pressure to maximize return on capital investments and reduce time required to bring new products from design to large-scale production. This study presents an analysis of the evolution of industrial automation systems, with particular emphasis on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS), examining their technical and economic impacts on industrial organizations. The research employs systematic literature review to document the historical trajectory from the first computer-based industrial control system installed in 1959 to contemporary virtualized systems of Industry 4.0 and 5.0. Results demonstrate that DCS implementation generated substantial revenue, with companies like Honeywell obtaining US$ 100 million in the first year alone after launching TDC 2000 in 1975. Analysis reveals that automated systems increase productivity in a two-to-one ratio compared to manual processes, while providing significant improvements in operational safety, quality control, and production flexibility. The study concludes that well-implemented automation offers measurable return on investment, but the optimal balance of benefits depends fundamentally on alignment between automation strategy and specific business objectives of each organization. The projection of US$ 209 billion in revenue for the industrial automation market by 2020 evidences the growing economic relevance of these technologies.
