Abstract:The cyber-physical system (CPS) has become the key infrastructure to support the development of smart manufacturing. On the basis of analyzing the CPS theory and industrial characteristics of the petrochemical industry, this paper defines the system structure of the CPS in petrochemical called petrochemical cyber-physical system (PCPS), and divides PCPS into three system structure levels, proceeding from the analysis on the overall development of the petrochemical industry and the production situation of Sinop… Show more

In recent years, cyber‐connected industrial control systems (ICS) for remote operations have increased cyber and process risks. While process safety is widely studied, its connectivity with the cyber threat has not been well explored. It is crucial to study cybersecurity and process safety in an integrated way to ensure safe operations. This study addresses this gap by first analyzing the cyber incidents related to ICS since 1990. Subsequently, it connects cyber incidents with process accidents by Bowtie based on the ATT&CK framework. It further develops a Bayesian network due to the insignificant probabilities by Bowtie. The developed model is explained with case analysis. This study confirms that the process industry is prone to cyberattacks, and the field controllers are the main targets of attacks. The study observes that the safety instrument system (SIS) is critical for both the attackers and neutralizing the attacks (defenders). Moreover, attackers deploy newer approaches to attack the ICS, and therefore, methods of threat assessment and its neutralizing strategies should be dynamic.
In order to improve the safety performance of the complete industrial chain, the petrochemical industry is in urgent need of digitalization and modernization. Considering two types of safety issues, namely safety hazards originating from non‐human and human sources, this paper proposes two solutions. Digital twin technology provides an effective way for the integration of the physical and information worlds through bidirectional real mapping and real‐time interaction between physical and virtual production lines, which can meet the high requirements of safety, stability, and continuity in the production process. On the other hand, micro‐ergonomics improves human–machine interaction, enhances comfort and work efficiency, and reduces negative emotions and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders; macro‐ergonomics and health, safety, environment, and ergonomics (HSEE) concepts take into account the human factor to maximize work efficiency and reduce the rate of injuries, morbidity, and accidents at work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
