This work presents the implementation of an automated control system for detecting and classifying faults in tuna metal cans using artificial vision. The system utilizes a conveyor belt and a camera for visual recognition triggered by a photoelectric sensor. A robotic arm classifies the metal cans according to their condition. Industry 4.0 integration is achieved through an IoT system using Mosquitto, Node-RED, InfluxDB, and Grafana. The YOLOv5 model is employed to detect faults in the metal can lids and the positioning of the easy-open ring. Training with GPU on Google Colab enables OCR text detection on the labels. The results indicate efficient real-time problem identification, optimization of resources, and delivery of quality products. At the same time, the vision system contributes to autonomy in quality control tasks, freeing operators to perform other functions within the company.
