Impacto de la digitalización del proceso de medición de tolerancias de maquinarias en la fabricación de llantas en Continental Tire Andina S.A

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of digitizing the Machining Tolerance Checking (MTC) process in tire manufacturing, allowing for a focus on the interventions carried out on the machinery. The methodology began with a search for information on graduation activities in machinery, through a systematic review of literature on digitization in maintenance processes and the application of evaluation indicators. A starting point was established to enable the transformation of manually executed activities into a digitized process. Tools such as Excel, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and Power BI were used to structure a database and easily analyze parameters for different groups of machinery or items. This project developed the feasibility of automating and using digital tools to analyze information related to the status of the machines. The automation of calculations enables a significant reduction in execution times and modernizes the analysis of collected information. Key performance indicators (KPIs) were also developed to evaluate the effectiveness and compliance of activities, allowing assets with a higher frequency of anomalies to be prioritized.In conclusion, this digital application from the MTC presents an improvement feature for managing efforts in graduation activities, as it allows for more efficient study and greater reliability of activities. Therefore, it assists in decision-making based on information that strengthens quality monitoring and the scheduling of corrective actions with respect to identified problems.
