Summary:Logistics is part of the automation processes in Industry 4.0. The industrial sustainability depends on the speed and efficiency with which the filling, classification, packaging and transport processes are carried out. The automation of these processes helps to improve the efficiency ratios in any industry. The use of distributed control is suitable for industrial plants in the service-food sector. such as manufacturing of yoghurts, cheese, cream, butter, desserts, etc. This paper presents the automation of the process of making rice with milk in a dairy products plant corresponding to an SME. The plant object of automation consists of areas of filling, cooking, emptying and a return zone. To do this, we have proceeded to the use of three PLC's that communicate through Profibus communication using the Master-Slave protocol. A Data Acquisition System (SCADA) is used to corroborate the correct operation of the process Keywords: Automation, food, PLC's, Profibus, SCADA. La logistica forma parte de los procesos de automatizacion en la industria 4.0. De la rapidez y eficiencia con que se realicen los procesos de llenado, clasificacion, empaquetado y transporte dependen la sostenibilidad industrial. La automatizacion de estos procesos ayuda a mejorar los ratios de eficiencia en cualquier industria. El uso de control distribuido resulta adecuado para plantas industriales del sector servicios-alimentacion. como pueden ser fabricacion de yogures, queso, nata, mantequilla, postres, etc. En este trabajo se presenta la automatizacion del proceso de fabricacion de arroz con leche en una planta de productos lacteos correspondiente a una PYME. La planta objeto de automatizacion consta de zonas de llenado, coccion, vaciado y una zona de retorno. Para ello, se ha procedido al empleo de tres PLC's que se comunican mediante comunicacion Profibus utilizando el protocolo Maestro-Esclavo. Para corroborar el correcto funcionamiento del proceso se utiliza un Sistema de Adquisicion de Datos (SCADA). Palabras-clave: Automatizacion, alimentacion, PLC's, Profibus, SCADA.
