Tiivistelmä
This thesis aims to investigate the potential of DT technology in enhancing HSEQ management systems and the barriers that limit its widespread adoption and implementation within industries. Via the use of a narrative literature review, the study examines how DTs enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, dynamic simulations, efficiency, as well as compliance with regulations. The findings also show that integrating DTs with other innovative technologies like IoT also enhances workplace safety by detecting anomalies or improving indoor air quality.
However, technical challenges such as interoperability, high resource demands, and security concerns, alongside economic and organizational barriers such as high initial cost and cultural resistance are posing a risk for the broader implementation. With these issues present, this thesis identifies the need for standardized and regulatory frameworks, workforce upskilling as well as the necessity of pilot projects.
So, while digital twins offer HSEQ numerous benefits, their successful integration requires a lot of collaboration between different sectors; industries, policymakers, and developers. That way current limitations are addressed, and the possibility for long-term benefits like sustainability and operational efficiency are unlocked.
