Sidenor Corporate Report 2019

32 Corporate report 2019 | What we do Smart plants Our Basauri plant has been acknowledged by AsLAN (association of networks and telecommunications providers) for its evolution into a smart plant thanks to the application of sensors, new traceability systems and mass data analytics. “Digital Twin” for the rolling mill in Basauri Sidenor has started this project together with IMMERSIA within the framework of the BIND 4.0 programme. IMMERSIA Data Visualization is a technological start-up specialised in the creation of interactive virtual environments of high visual quality for data interpretation. In this context, the collaborative project led by the start-up and Sidenor consists in the design and implementation of a multi- device platform enabling the monitoring of Basauri plant’s rolling mill. In other words, the project aims at creating a digital twin of the mill, with real-time information and multi-device navigation. This is the third edition where Sidenor takes part as a leading company in BIND 4.0, a Basque start-up public- private acceleration programme led by the Basque Government, the SPRI Group and benchmark companies from the Basque Country interested in promoting projects based on the new 4.0 technologies. Cybersecurity plan Our Information Technologies area has developed an ambitious cybersecurity plan which includes various lines of action: review of the securing process of the entire computer equipment, updating of firewalls and access control rules, development of a security alert monitoring system, updating of the business continuity plan and redesign, segmentation and securing of the network as well as specific cybersecurity training for networked equipment users. The aim is to improve the security of our systems, as well as to mitigate the effects of a possible cyberattack. FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
