Industrial revolutions mark a great leap of technologies that changes the productive paradigm, that change is known as industrial revolutions [1] [2]. Industry 4.0 has changed the way industry operates and manages its operations, new technologies are being applied to increase productivity, reduce losses utilizing information systems and communication based on the Internet of Things (IoT). [3] In this context, new systems were adopted to facilitate the management of industrial processes, for those processes which have interaction between different sectors in the production operations, integrated systems emerge as a solution to facilitates communication and time reduction to collect data. Due to automation, there is an increase in the control over operational variables.
The present work presents solutions based on the concept of industry 4.0, especially integrated systems for the management of by-products and waste produced in a steel plant. The Online Productive Process Monitoring (OPPM) and the By-products Management Integrated Systems (BMIS) are automatic solutions applied for by-products management. The first one shows the by-products consumption in different sectors. The monitoring is online and on-demand. The Waste Collections Monitoring Points (WCMP) facilitates the logistics of waste collection.
