Design and implementation guide when manufacturing human-centric digital twins.
Digital Twin (DT) technology is an enabling technology for the industrial transformation of manufacturing environments, with a wide range of applications, from operational optimisation to organisational innovation. In the area of safety, applications are still very much emerging and have focused on dynamic risk monitoring and assessment, safety in collaborative robot environments and immersive virtual training.
The new Industry 5.0 paradigm promotes a human-centric approach and introduces complex technological challenges to incorporate the human factor in the design and operation of digital systems.
Practical recommendations for the design and implementation of safe digital twins
The HumanDT Guide, which presents this Technical Conference, aims to provide guidance and practical recommendations for the design and implementation of safe, ethical and human-centric digital twins, aligned with the principles of Industry 5.0.
The guide’s ultimate goal is to promote the introduction of this approach in the manufacturing industry, in order to achieve more conscious, flexible and collaborative production processes that improve competitiveness, safety and well-being in manufacturing environments.
The HumanDT Guide is aimed at
- Primarily designers and integrators of DT technology in manufacturing processes, who need to implement a human-centric approach from the DT design stage.
- It also applies to companies using DT technology that can use the Guide as a reference to evolve their current processes towards a human-centric vision.
- It can benefit other stakeholders, such as safety professionals, prevention services, competent administration and research organisations, among others.
The conference will feature speakers involved in the development of the Guide and also companies from the manufacturing sector who will present their experiences designing and using DT technology.
** The HumanDT Guide is the final result of the Safera2024 project of the same name. This project has been developed by TECNALIA and the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health and funded by the Basque Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (OSALAN) and the Finnish Work Environment Fund (FWEF).
