Manejo inteligente de retazos de madera: Estrategia de almacenamiento y reutilización basada en principios de la Industria 4.0

Abstract

Abstract: This research designs and validates a low-cost functional prototype of a cyber-physical system for inventory control and wood scrap traceability under the Industry 4.0 framework. The problem addressed is the lack of structured waste management, which increases search times and limits material reuse. The proposed solution consists of a local web application with SQLite that records geometric and material attributes, generates unique codes, produces QR labels, and manages operational states. The system integrates measurement calculations, size classification with fixed references, logistic location suggestions based on rules, and operational visualization through Node-RED. Validation was conducted in a controlled environment using functional and data consistency tests. Results provide evidence of technical feasibility, though not industrial field validation. It is concluded that a lightweight, reproducible local architecture can optimize inventory organization and strengthen traceability with low economic and technological adoption barriers.
