This thesis project has the aim of optimizing the UAPFOR machine through a series of modifications with the purpose of improving the hardware, the control logic, the analysis, and data management and to update the HMI. In particular, the project focus will be on the transition from a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) AC500 ABB to an Industrial PC B\&R, which allow to use Windows as operating system and the B\&R Automation Studio software. The main objective is to evaluate and analyze the impact that these modifications have on the whole performance of the machine, introducing significant improvements both in terms of efficiency and control.
