MESA MARTINEZ, Marcel; SOJO HERNANDEZ, Miguel Luis; AMBAR PEREZ, Guillermo  and  SANTANA CHING, Ivan. System for the supervision of productive and technological indicators in the ELQUIM Chlorine-Soda Plant. EAC [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.2, pp. 14-23.  Epub Feb 01, 2024. ISSN 1815-5928.

Traditionally, Industrial Control Systems have been isolated in private and highly secure networks. However, in recent years a trend has emerged towards the integration of these systems with the Internet, seeking to facilitate the exchange of fundamental data for business management and making precise decisions in the field of production. This movement towards convergence with the Internet poses significant challenges in the field of cybersecurity. The Electrochemical company (ELQUIM) of Sagua la Grande recently implemented a new, more productive and safer plant. An Industrial Control System supervises and controls the productive and technological parameters of the plant, however, there was no mechanism for collecting and storing them from the business area. A system was designed to securely acquire data from the process area and place it at the disposal of specialists and technologists in the business area. Through this information, technologists can detect malfunctions in the plant, as well as improve its production processes. The SCADA ErosXD designed and programmed by the companies SERCONI and XETID was used as supervision software.

Keywords : Industrial Control System (ICS); Firewall; SCADA; Supervision; Cybersecurity.
