Resumen

The automation processes in the construction area have been covering the planning and control of obtaining fibers to improve the properties of concrete in an environmentally sustainable way. This work develops the automation for obtaining banana fiber, which will be detailed and controlled by an HMI, to then improve the physical and mechanical properties of concrete in the compressive strength, modulus of rupture, diametral tensile strength. Tia Portal, Factory IO and LabViewsoftware were used for the process of obtaining banana fiber and by means of the Peruvian standard MTC/14, the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete were evaluated. It was obtained that placing 3% of the fiber in a concrete designed for a compressive strength fc=210kg/cm2, improved the compressive strength to primec=315.5kg/cm2, modulus of rupture of 49.6kg/cm2, diametral tensile strength of 31.4kg/cm2, which were evaluated at 28 days.
