• Abstract: This document describes the development and implementation of a technological solution based on IoT devices to modernize a machine known as the Cyclone. This equipment is used by a contractor collaborating with petrochemical companies in the state of Texas, performing specialized work in mechanics, engineering, catalytic material replacement, and rescue operations in refinery complexes. The Cyclone machine, with outdated relay logic technology, poses challenges in terms of operational efficiency, critical condition monitoring, and safety. The project was carried out with the collaboration of specialists in equipment handling, focusing on demonstrating the feasibility of integrating advanced Industry 4.0 technologies into legacy industrial equipment. The methodology included the incorporation of IoT sensors for real-time monitoring, an automated control system, and the digitization of key processes. Preliminary results indicate improvements in the precision of operational control and the ability for remote supervision, highlighting the potential for modernization in critical industrial applications. This work not only validates the use of IoT devices in obsolete equipment but also sets a precedent for the transition towards more sustainable and efficient technologies in the petrochemical sector.
