Prototipo de asistente operativo inteligente (DABU) integrado con herramientas SCADA (Rockwell) para apoyo en la operación de estaciones de producción de crudo
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-04) Buitrago Murillo, Daniel Alcides; Dallos Ramírez, Andrés Felipe; Núñez Rodríguez, Rafael Augusto; Peña Galvis, Omar Leonardo; Universidad Santo Tomás
The fragmentation of operational data in oil production facilities represents a critical bottleneck for timely decision-making within Centralized Control Rooms (CCR). This research presents the design, development, and implementation of DABU (Intelligent Operational Assistant), a hybrid neuro-symbolic platform integrated with industrial SCADA systems under Rockwell Automation's PlantPAx distributed architecture. The system is deployed across a six-layer virtualized environment (ISA-95) using independent virtual machines, enforcing a zero-trust network topology. DABU's cognitive engine combines the precision of a deterministic Python execution unit, which evaluates telemetry thresholds and alarms in real time, with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline for unstructured technical manuals (PDFs) and historical logs (Excel sheets) indexed in ChromaDB. Conversation orchestration is governed by state graphs in LangGraph, routing language synthesis to a quantized local Large Language Model (phi3:mini) operating on-premise without reliance on external cloud APIs. Experimental validation in an emulated industrial environment confirmed DABU's ability to streamline operational triage and deliver context-grounded technical diagnostics. No hallucinations were observed in deterministic calculations during the evaluated trials, supporting the robustness of the proposed hybrid architecture and demonstrating its suitability as a resilient and model-agnostic solution for critical OT infrastructure.
Diseño de una propuesta de Oficina de Gestión de Proyectos, PMO, para empresas de interventoría de vías en Colombia, basada en los lineamientos del PMBOK 6ª ed. y PMO VALUE RING
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-04) Pérez Gil, María Alejandra; Pava Carvajal, Hugo Alberto; Universidad Santo Tomás
This research arises from the recognition of the challenges faced by supervisory management firms in the effective administration of their projects, particularly regarding adherence to deadlines, resource optimization, and the quality of deliverables. Consequently, designing a Supportive PMO (Project Management Office) becomes a fundamental necessity to overcome organizational deficiencies, thereby achieving superior quality control and efficiency in the supervision of diverse projects. The primary objective of this study is to design a Supportive PMO tailored to road infrastructure supervisory firms in Colombia responsible for managing the administrative and operational oversight of projects. This design is developed in accordance with the guidelines of the PMBOK® Guide (Sixth Edition) and the PMO Value Ring methodology framework. By diagnosing current sectoral difficulties, this study proposes the creation of new structures and processes oriented toward the standardization and continuous improvement of project management practices. Furthermore, this model characterizes a Supportive PMO with a high level of process optimization strategies. This allows for the implementation of key tools— such as roadmaps, core processes, service catalogs, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)— enabling firms to strengthen governance, transparency, quality, and contractual compliance. Ultimately, this fosters organizational maturity, ensures resource optimization, and reduces costs derived from unforeseen contingencies.
Auditoría de gestión del ciclo de facturación, recaudo y conciliación de cánones bajo enfoque de riesgos en Inversiones Compas S.A.S.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-04) Amaya Solano, Jeny Patricia; Cabeza Chapeta, Angie Patricia; Carrillo Daza, Yaurina Alejandra; Rueda Valderrama, Jhoan Manuel; Universidad Santo Tomas
This undergraduate thesis addresses the weaknesses identified in the billing and collection processes of Inversiones Compas S.A.S., specifically in the reconciliation of own and third-party rental payments, which generate inconsistencies, financial risks, and limitations in decision-making. The general objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the billing and collection cycle through a management audit applied to the reconciliation of rental payments. The document is structured around the problem statement, justification and objectives, the theoretical framework, the methodology, the results and their analysis, and the conclusions and recommendations derived from the study. Methodologically, a descriptive approach was applied using an audit methodology that included document review, analysis of internal procedures, application of control instruments (checklists and observation guides), and evaluation of management indicators. The results showed that the cycle consists of eight sequential stages with defined responsible parties, but lacks a documented manual, resulting in dependence on staff's empirical knowledge and a lack of standardization. A medium level of effectiveness was identified, with an average compliance rate of 66% against the audit criteria evaluated, execution times exceeding those expected, and internal control weaknesses related to late recordkeeping. The discussion highlights the importance of implementing administrative and financial improvements aimed at optimizing operational efficiency, reducing risks, and ensuring transparency in resource management. As a main conclusion, it is determined that the cycle operates with medium effectiveness and significant exposure to financial and operational risks, mainly associated with overdue accounts receivable and the absence of formalized preventive controls. In response, five improvement proposals were designed to transform corrective controls into preventive ones, including a pre-invoicing verification checklist, a double-review accounting protocol, and a formal accounts-receivable management policy, whose implementation would strengthen the reliability of financial information and the organization's internal control system.
Límites Del Derecho Penal Frente a la Responsabilidad de Personas Jurídicas en Escenarios de Uso de Inteligencia Artificial y Posibles Consecuencias Jurídicas Aplicables en Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-04) Pacheco Acosta, Paola Patricia; Maldonado Narváez, Marlon Iván; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001499230; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2940-8638
This research analyzes the limits of Colombian criminal law regarding the intervention of legal entities in scenarios involving the use of artificial intelligence within business environments; the study is based on the absence of a direct criminal liability regime for legal entities in Colombia and examines how new technological dynamics have created difficulties in identifying individual responsibility when automated systems participate in business processes with legal relevance. Through a normative, jurisprudential, and doctrinal analysis, the research identifies different legal consequences applicable to organizations, particularly from administrative, regulatory, and preventive perspectives; likewise, it develops legal criteria related to organizational benefit, organizational control, duty of prevention, and technological traceability, which make it possible to examine the involvement of legal entities in scenarios where artificial intelligence tools are used. The research concludes that, although Colombian criminal law continues to be structured around individual liability, the legal system already contains mechanisms capable of responding to business conduct mediated by automated technologies; nevertheless, the study also highlights the need to strengthen supervision, control, and prevention mechanisms regarding the risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in business activities.
Formulación del Plan de proyecto para el Diseño de una PMO en 4G Architecture utilizando el marco de trabajo PMBOK® Sexta Edición
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-04) Cantillo Rodríguez, Juan Marcos; Ribero Gómez, Juan Carlos; Universidad Santo Tomás
This Master's Final Project was developed to address the problem: identified at 4G Architecture, where differences in project management practices across its business units, the use of non-standardized methodologies, the absence of consistent monitoring and control mechanisms, limited knowledge management, and weak alignment between project execution and organizational strategy hinder the strengthening of organizational project management capabilities. In response to this situation, the objective: was to formulate the Project Management Plan for the design of a supportive Project Management Office (PMO), based on the good practices established in the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition, the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®), and the PMO Value Ring methodology. To achieve this purpose, the method: consisted of an applied extension project supported by a documentary analysis of the current project management practices within the Cladding business unit, a qualitative organizational maturity assessment based on OPM3®, and the integrated application of the selected methodological frameworks. As results: a comprehensive Project Management Plan was formulated, integrating the Project Charter, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), the project schedule, the project budget, and the subsidiary management plans established by the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition. Furthermore, through the application of the PMO Value Ring methodology, organizational needs were identified, stakeholder expectations were aligned, a prioritized PMO service catalog was defined, a conceptual governance model was established, a performance measurement system (KPIs) was developed, the expected organizational benefits were estimated, and a strategic roadmap was structured to guide its future implementation. Finally, the discussion: demonstrated that the integration of the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition, OPM3®, and PMO Value Ring provides a robust methodological approach for formulating projects aimed at strengthening organizational project management capabilities, providing 4G Architecture with a structured basis for decision-making regarding the future design and implementation of a supportive PMO while offering a methodological reference that can be adapted by organizations with similar characteristics.
