Photovoltaic solar energy in Colombia has become a significant alternative to replace or supplement the generation of conventional energy, so it is important to analyze the supply chain of photovoltaic systems in the country. Currently there is no link in the stages of the logistic processes of solar energy, only isolated links that hinder their expansion. According to the foregoing, this article performs an analysis of the supply chain of photovoltaic systems in Colombia at a general level, especially in non-interconnected areas. On the other hand, it aims to contemplate the strategy of supply chain orientation, first step to mature a model that allows to strengthen all the stages of the supply chain of this type of systems in Colombia, in this case it use a Petri Net like tool for its mathematical representation.

This paper provides the insights of the SCADA software which allows measuring, registering and controlling variables relevant for the increasement of the productivity in Poultry farms in Colombia by using some intelligent algorithms and BIG DATA. Therefore, this paper shows a brief description of the technological progress of the Colombian Poultry sector and the importance of the variables implemented on the SCADA software for the Poultry FarmsProject. Likewise, this article includes a graphic description that represents the code which was generated in the LabVIEW program, regarding some algorithms that allow the management of the data acquired from the SCADA software. Also, the development of the project is deeply explained, besides devices, and subsystems that make up the software/hardware and the methodology used for their design and interaction. The main functionalities of the software are described as invoking subprograms on specific screens, generate alarms, write data in local storage and send readings to a server in the cloud for BIG DATA processing. Finally, the relevance of project development and its impact on the analysis, parameterization, and control of the increasement of productivity in Colombian Poultry farms is concluded.
