• Abstract: Within the scope of continuous and technological improvement of an organization, automation is one of the main alternatives for developing production processes and improving results for the industry. In the search for improvement in the industrial manufacturing process, this project to build an automatic threading machine demonstrates the development and manufacturing of automation equipment within a metallurgical industry. Through the use of tools from the product development process, this article details and demonstrates the project development stages, until its completion. The project seeks to improve the industry's manufacturing process as well as reduce lead time and setup. In addition to productivity gains, there is also compliance with safety standards, such as NR-12, which influences the selection of mechanical components and assemblies that are included in the project. The project meets its objectives such as improving 63,5% of manufacturing time and meeting safety standards, but presents secondary gains with the change in the way the process is carried out, such as cutting fluid savings, shorter setup time, from 20 to 5 minutes and increased process quality.
