    This technological proposal focuses on the application of an autonomous loading robot (AGV) in the logistics process of machinery transport in the DIPAG company, based on the context of growing industrial automation. This study focused on the application of an autonomous loading robot designed with advanced components that allow it to navigate autonomously and handle loads from 1 kg to 18 kg. The methodology used in this research includes a bibliographic review and the use of a Waterfall methodology for the implementation of the prototype. The robot consists of two parts, the first is the metal structure made of black steel 1.1 mm thick, two bolted hooks on the front of the robot and two rear wheels responsible for generating robot movement, the second part is focused in a circuitry ESP32 of 38-pin that was used for data processing, a driver IRF3205 module to operate the engines, three TCRT 5000 infrared sensors to control navigation, an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles, a radio frequency module to control switching on and off, a buzzer to generate an alert signal. In other hand, the code was developed in Arduinoblocks. The results obtained transporting welders with a total weight of 18 kg, the (AGV) took a time of 38.33 min, time that the worker was responsible for building lawn mowers in which it took 5 min for each mower, assembling 7 lawn mowers. This shows that the application of the AGV allows workers to get rid of repetitive tasks and perform activities that benefit the company.

    Elaboración de planes de mejora basado en el nivel de madurez digital de las empresas vinculadas a la carrera de Ingeniería Industrial de la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi.
    (Ecuador: Latacunga: Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi: (UTC), 2024-08) Moya Nuñez, Kevin Alexander; Hidalgo Oñate, Angel Guillermo
    This work focuses on the development of personalized improvement plans based on the level of digital maturity of companies linked to the Industrial Engineering career of the Technical University of Cotopaxi. Hence, an exhaustive diagnosis was carried out that evaluated the capacity of these companies to integrate digital technologies into their operational and strategic processes. In the diagnosis, three methodologies were applied, which are HADA, IMPULS, and PYMES DIGITAL. Based on the results obtained through the methodologies used, improvement plans were designed based on the DIGITAL SMEs recommendations that respond to the specific needs of each Ecuadorian company, seeking to optimize their performance and competitiveness in an increasingly digitalized business environment. These plans include practical recommendations for technological tools adoption and staff training, in order to enhance digital transformation and improve operational efficiency. The study highlights the importance of adapting technological solutions to the current capabilities of companies to ensure their success in implementation.

    “Propuesta de un sistema de realidad virtual para la capacitación en una línea de producción de envasado de agua”.
    (Ecuador: Latacunga: Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi: (UTC), 2024-08) Murillo Jacome, Angel Israel; Tigse Casillas, Danny Joel; Hidalgo Oñate, Angel Guillermo
    The water packaging industry faces the challenge of reducing human errors and optimizing training times. This study proposes immersive virtual reality as an innovative solution to address this problem. By immersing workers in realistic simulations of the production line, virtual reality (VR) allows them to practice critical tasks in a safe and controlled environment, reducing the risk of accidents and improving efficiency. A VR environment was developed with Unity3D software in which an interface was created through three-dimensional designs and environments compatible with Oculus Quest 2 glasses based on the instructions of the 500 BPH water packaging production line, accurately replicating the water packaging production process. The usability of the simulation was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS), ensuring optimal learning for the staff. The effectiveness of the system was measured using the T-Student test for independent samples with IBM SPSS software, comparing the efficiency and knowledge retention of the participants. The study revealed a significant advance in staff learning and knowledge retention through the use of VR, achieving 94% correct answers compared to 61% achieved through traditional methods. These differences were statistically significant, validating the first hypothesis and confirming the superiority of the VR system. Furthermore, the SUS returned a score of 72.85, indicating a high acceptance of the system. This virtual environment not only facilitates the acquisition of skills and knowledge more effectively and efficiently, but also promotes active user participation, optimizing the training process.
