System for Control of Measuring Devices (SKIU)

This is a project supporting Bulgarian government’s initiative to curtail excise fraud by implementing a data collection system that gathers real-time production data from major excise producers and traders (oil refineries, oil traders, wine plants, etc.). The project involves:

• Consult on bylaws, ordinances and other legal basis
• Design the specifications of an industrial computer to interface to production line sensors in real time; in collaboration and consultation with all major excise traders in Bulgaria
• Design security procedures (IT and physical) ensuring authenticity, continuous operation, data resilience, non-tampering
• Development of software for the industrial computer that gathers sensor data, stores it in a resilient way and transmits it periodically
• Design and development of central server data gathering system at BCA

SKIU system architecture is divided into several sub-systems:

• National reporting system for taking down readings of measuring devices in warehouses.
• System for data transmission between the the system and IKU Customs Agency.
• Integrated communication device (IKU) used to collect and normalize data from different sensors. Sensors and other equipment necessary for industrial automation, whereby IKU will collect data.
• Automated system for management of the technological process of each economic operator.
