Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of an Industrial Instrumentation Lab based of QFD (Quality function deveploment) methodology. This will be used to develop experimental practices at the Laboratories of the Universidad Politénica Salesiana, Cuenca. It is described the mechanical design process and implementation of the electric system and data acquisition software with visualization of the information of the sensors of six didactic platforms, specifying characteristics of a user’s manual. They were carried out tests of all the instrumentation to verify their correct operation with satisfactory results.
