Jul 2026 · IAIC Transactions on Sustainable Digital Innovation (ITSDI) · 0 citations

Abstract

Overhead crane operations remain a high-risk activity in heavy manufacturing, yet safety management often relies on static assessments that fail to capture real-time operational dynamics. In developing economies such as Indonesia, a significant digital gap hinders the adoption of high-cost IoT solutions, leaving safety data fragmented and reactive. This study aims to bridge this gap by developing and validating a Business Intelligence (BI) Safety Dashboard that utilizes bridge technologies, defined as cost-effective digital solutions that leverage existing administrative and operational data instead of dedicated IoT infrastructure, to provide real-time predictive risk insights. Following a Design Science Research (DSR) framework, a three-year longitudinal study (2024–2026) was conducted at a metal fabrication facility in West Java. A Weighted Dynamic Risk Score (WDRS) was formulated using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), integrating incident logs, maintenance records, and operator certification data into a unified star schema model. The results demonstrate a 95% reduction in data processing time and a 30% increase in near-miss reporting. The proposed artifact successfully identified critical risk outliers, such as Crane 08 (WDRS = 8.3), and generated spatiotemporal heatmaps that pinpointed specific risk hotspots within the facility. These findings confirm that the BI Dashboard is a feasible and highly practical solution for resource-constrained environments, providing a scalable blueprint for Indonesian SMEs to achieve Industry 4.0 safety standards by leveraging existing administrative data for predictive maintenance and proactive safety interventions.

Digital Twins for Real-Time Operations Monitoring and Optimization in Oman’s Logistics Sector

Digital twins (DTs) are transforming supply chain management and logistics operations by improving operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decision-making, and allowing for real-time. However, many current DTs implementations lack cybersecurity frameworks, predictive analytics, and dynamic risk assessment, relying instead on static data evaluation and key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring. This research addresses these gaps by suggesting an AI-based DT framework designed to enhance the resilience, security, and operational performance of logistics systems. The study explores how integrating AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics can enable the integration of DTs—virtual representations of physical resources and processes—to support real-time operations management, informed decision-making, and the mitigation of vulnerabilities in logistics management. The research employs a qualitative methodology and illustrative case studies, the research explores how the adoption of DTs aligns with the ongoing logistics transformations of Industry 4.0 and AI. The findings demonstrate a practical method that leads to boosting logistics efficiency, reducing delays, and promoting environmental sustainability. This work provides strategic guidance to promote the adoption this technology in the sector and offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to leverage digital twins to deliver secure, adaptive, and efficient digital supply chain solutions.

INTELLIGENT BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION IN ENSURING THE ECONOMIC RESILIENCE OF DEFENSE INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

This article examines intelligent business process automation as a means of increasing the economic resilience of defense industry enterprises. Unlike approaches focused primarily on reducing labor costs, resilience is assessed through a process's ability to prevent disruptions, maintain critical output, recover from failures, and adapt to changing conditions. A process-oriented model is proposed that links the criticality of operations, observability, interdependence, automation potential, and the risk of erroneous decisions. A system of metrics for deviation prediction, continuity, recovery, and adaptation, as well as a metric for avoided economic losses, is developed. The study was conducted using a change management scenario for design and technological documentation (DTD). It is demonstrated that intelligent automation increases resilience not through extreme autonomy, but through a combination of forecasting, digital twins, hybrid rules, and managed escalation.

How AI Is Reshaping Risk Management in Energy Industry: A Qualitative Study of Leading Companies

Abstract This article examines the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in risk management process in energy sector and the emergent adoption patterns across subsectors. The paper focuses on practical and observable deployments, building on recent academic work that frames AI as a driver for the energy transition while also highlighting governance, data and cybersecurity concerns. A dataset of 50 AI use-case instances was compiled and assessed, employing a structured content analysis, which were gathered from public data available for leading energy companies. Each case was coded according to four risk management stages (identification, analysis/assessment, prediction and mitigation/treatment), a primary AI capability class (e.g. predictive maintenance, forecasting/optimization, computer vision inspection, digital twins, robotics, neuro linguistic programming (NLP)/Generative AI, cybersecurity analytics) and a dominant risk-control archetype (e.g. reliability control, inspection at scale, resilience forecasting and response optimization, operational decision support).The results suggest that AI is most frequently integrated into mitigation pathways rather than utilized as a standalone analytics layer. There are two primary patterns that emerge: (1) reliability oriented solutions that focus on time-series anomaly detection and predictive maintenance, which connect sensor signals to maintenance actions and (2) resilience and inspection oriented solutions, particularly in utilities and nuclear contexts, that prioritize interventions and reduce exposure to hazards by utilizing forecasting/optimization and computer vision/robotics methods. Subsector comparisons demonstrate domain-specific risk fit: upstream / offshore prioritize reliability control and digital twins; utilities prioritize resilience forecasting and inspection at scale; and refining/downstream prioritize decision support and compliance-linked use cases. The results indicate that the value of AI in risk management is the reduction of the detection to action cycle. Equally, to progress on the automation maturity, it is necessary to improve cybersecurity governance, transparency and validation.

AI-Enabled Cloud Operations for Predictive Monitoring, Automation, and Service Reliability

Cloud operations have become a strategic reliability function as enterprises move customer journeys, public services, industrial platforms and data products to hybrid and multi cloud environments. Traditional monitoring practices are no longer sufficient as cloud systems generate high-velocity telemetry from containers, serverless functions, networks, databases, identity services and user-facing applications. This review looks at how artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) can improve predictive monitoring, controlled automation and service reliability. The paper uses a structured narrative review approach to synthesise literature, standards and implementation guidance published from 2020 to 2025. The review identifies five operational domains, namely observability engineering, incident prediction, root cause analysis, automated remediation, and governance for trustworthy operations. It argues that it is not possible to improve service reliability just through machine learning models, but also needs good telemetry, topology awareness, safe runbooks, cyber resilience, human validation and continuous feedback from incidents. Saudi Arabia is particularly relevant for AI-enabled cloud operations as Vision 2030 digital transformation, cloud-first adoption, smart city initiatives, financial technology, healthcare platforms and critical digital infrastructure require highly available and resilient services. The study proposes a layered architecture linking logs, metrics, traces and service dependency graphs with predictive analytics, automation policy and reliability dashboards. It also gives a maturity roadmap for organisations that want to transition from reactive monitoring to proactive, self-improving operations. The review concludes that AIOps can reduce mean time to detect and recover, improve capacity planning and support business continuity, provided that organisations treat automation as a governed socio-technical capability rather than a purely technical tool.

Dynamic Risk Assessment and Hazard Prediction in Complex Workplaces Using a Digital Twin Architecture

The rise of digital transformation (DT) across industries has catalyzed incremental progress through technological revolutions such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Twins. This research explores the organizational digital transformation within complex workplaces—specifically construction sites and process plants—and evaluates how Digital Twins can enhance occupational health and safety (OSH). Current safety management procedures struggle to keep pace with dynamic industrial environments, leading to high accident rates. By digitizing physical environments and synchronizing real-time data from IoT sensors, cyber-physical systems, and historical logs, organizations can enable proactive risk assessment, hazard prediction, and effective safety training. This paper assesses the value-add of AI in safety performance by deeply integrating advanced industrial safety engineering risk analysis methodologies, including Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The evolution of safety roles and shifting collaborative dynamics are examined in detail, ultimately providing a scalable framework for adopting predictive safety mechanisms up to the 2024-2025 technological horizon.

Digital Twin Applications for Smart Building Operations, Maintenance and Risk Management in Saudi Mega Projects

Saudi Arabia's mega-project portfolio is reshaping the operational logic of the built environment. Smart districts, high-rise mixed-use assets, hospitals, transport hubs, hotels and mission-critical public facilities are expected to perform as continuously optimised systems rather than static construction outputs. This review examines how digital twin applications can improve smart building operations, maintenance and risk management in Saudi mega projects under Vision 2030. The paper synthesises peer-reviewed literature from 2020 to 2025 and develops a building lifecycle framework linking BIM, IoT, building management systems, artificial intelligence, facility management platforms and governance controls. The central argument is that a digital twin becomes valuable only when it converts live building data into verified operational decisions: fault detection, energy optimisation, predictive maintenance, safety alerts, resilience planning, asset lifecycle analysis and executive risk visibility. The review identifies four implementation layers: data foundation, analytical intelligence, operational intervention and governance assurance. Findings show that digital twins can reduce fragmentation between design, construction and facility management; however, success depends on data quality, interoperability, cybersecurity, workforce capability, procurement discipline and ethical use of automation. For Saudi mega projects, the strongest value is expected in MEP-intensive assets where energy, cooling, lifts, water systems, fire safety, indoor environmental quality and equipment availability directly affect public value. The paper proposes a practical roadmap for staged adoption, beginning with priority assets and moving toward portfolio-level digital twin governance. It concludes that digital twins should be treated as socio-technical operating systems for smart buildings, not merely 3D visual models.
