Abstract
En el presente proyecto se aborda el diseño e implementación de una herramienta de gestión visual para el proceso de fabricación de vidrio laminado en Vidrios Lirquén S.A., a través del desarrollo de un dashboard operativo y otro para la jefatura en la plataforma corporativa Sequoia. El trabajo apunta a integrar en un solo sistema las variables críticas que inciden directamente en el proceso, calidad del producto y rendimiento operativo, consolidando el monitoreo en tiempo real, antes inexistente. Esta iniciativa surge ante la necesidad de mejorar el control del proceso productivo, dada la existencia de información desagregada y difícil de visualizar, como el comportamiento térmico de la EPY, maquina que da el sellado preliminar a las láminas. Además, la ausencia de indicadores automáticos en disponibilidad y flowrate, que son el tiempo disponible para operar y la velocidad a la que operan en los tiempos disponibles respectivamente. lo que dificultaba la toma de decisiones. Estas brechas aumentan la probabilidad de generar mermas reduciendo la capacidad de actuar con rapidez ante desviaciones y limitaban la comprensión integral por parte de los operadores en la línea. El desarrollo se ejecutó mediante una metodología iterativa, comenzando por el levantamiento de variables críticas del proceso, seguido por la definición de los datos y la construcción de componentes visuales en Sequoia. Se crearon vistas específicas para operadores y supervisores, incorporando gráficos, indicadores numéricos y rangos de alerta para las variables, permitiendo así realizar análisis históricos de fácil interpretación. Asimismo, se configuraron cálculos automáticos de disponibilidad y flowrate, utilizando sensores incorporados en la línea. Finalmente, se validaron en terreno los valores en Sequoia y las mediciones reales, asegurando fiabilidad en la información presentada, además de que se validó que la herramienta era de utilidad para el personal. Como resultado, se implementó un sistema de visualización integral que mejora la gestión visual del proceso de laminado. El dashboard operativo consolida 7 variables críticas para identificar en tiempo real desviaciones que eventualmente impactan en los indicadores de merma, especialmente “sopladas”, que constituyeron un 13% de las mermas del S-1 2025. Además, da trazabilidad de las variables presentadas. Por su parte, el dashboard de la jefatura consolida 4 indicadores clave para la gestión diaria y semanal, proporcionando una visión táctica de la operación de la línea. En conjunto, estas herramientas fortalecen la toma de decisiones, aumentan la trazabilidad del proceso y sientan las bases para una gestión más eficiente y estandarizada en el área de laminado, estando ya en funcionamiento y operativos ambos dashboards diseñados.
This project addresses the design and implementation of a visual management tool for the laminated glass manufacturing process at Vidrios Lirquén S.A., through the development of an operational dashboard and another for management on the Sequoia corporate platform. The work aims to integrate into a single system the critical variables that directly affect the process, product quality, and operational performance, consolidating real-time monitoring, which was previously non-existent for operations and management. This initiative arose from the need to improve control of the production process, given the existence of disaggregated and difficult-to-visualize information, such as the thermal behavior of the EPY, coupled with the absence of automatic indicators of availability and flow rate, which made decision-making difficult. These gaps increase the likelihood of generating losses, reducing the ability to act quickly in the event of deviations and limiting the comprehensive understanding of operators on the line. The development was carried out using an iterative methodology, beginning with the collection of critical process variables, followed by the definition of the data and the construction of visual components in Sequoia. Specific views were created for operators and supervisors, incorporating graphs, numerical indicators, and alert ranges for the variables, thus enabling easy-to-interpret historical analyses. Automatic availability and flow rate calculations were also configured using sensors built into the line. Finally, the values in Sequoia and the actual measurements were validated in the field, ensuring the reliability of the information presented, as well as confirming that the tool was useful for staff. As a result, a comprehensive visualization system was implemented that significantly improves the visual management of the rolling process. The operational dashboard consolidates seven critical variables to identify deviations in real time that may impact loss indicators, especially “blowouts,” which accounted for 13% of losses in S-1 2025. It also provides traceability of the variables presented. For its part, the management dashboard consolidates four key indicators for daily and weekly management, providing a tactical view of the line's operation. Together, these tools strengthen decision-making, increase process traceability, and lay the foundation for more efficient and standardized management in the rolling area, with both dashboards already up and running.
