SUMMARY:Contributions from cloud-based OT solutions for downstream steel processes
DESCRIPTION:Productivity in modern metals plants and processes depends on sophisticated computer-controlled automation systems that have become powerful, and ubiquitous. It is part of the Internet of Things (IoT). In the case of automation, the computers that make production smarter also make it more vulnerable to external interference. 
Manufacturers have become more vulnerable to cyber-attacks after shifting to Cloud infrastructure and services, since from 2017, there have been approximately 382 new vulnerabilities, and additionally, the crackers have had the tendency of exploring targeting vulnerabilities before the security research team and responsible software vendors realize their presence.

After reviewing several RFCS research projects in the context of the RFCS EU funded dissemination project named ControlInSteel, it becomes clear that many of the created models for forecasting can be useful for estimating bias between expectations and measured values. Unlike earlier analytical attempts to find more effective model representations, the cloud oriented Operational Technologies provide scalable solutions enabling different applications. Such applications not only are useful for low level monitoring activities, but also to create higher level of representation of data, mainly product oriented with high traceability on the low-level data.
This paper wants to present the different capabilities that cloud OT solutions enable, both in process monitoring, OT oriented cybersecurity, and high-level data representation.
All the analysis will be carried out by using a case study from the hot strip mill for long products in the context of the EU funded Autosurveillance project.
