Risks are everywhere in industrial operations—whether in confined spaces, hazardous work areas, or across entire plants. UDiTH makes these risks visible and manageable: hazards are visualized in 3D, connected with IoT data, and linked to digital workflows and reports. The result: safer execution in the field and stronger compliance at the management level.
The challenge
Industrial facilities face risks at all levels:
- Field level: High-risk tasks such as confined space entries, hot work, or elevated work often rely on paper permits and manual checks. Hazards are not always clearly communicated, leading to accidents.
- Management level: Risk assessments and safety reports are fragmented across systems, making it difficult to maintain transparency, prove compliance, and react quickly to emerging issues.
Without integrated visualization and traceable workflows, companies struggle to minimize risks, ensure safety, and satisfy regulatory requirements.
The UDiTH solution
UDiTH integrates risk management into the digital twin ecosystem, connecting field safety with strategic oversight:
- Visual hazard mapping: High-risk zones such as tanks, scaffolds, or hot work areas are marked directly in the 3D model.
- IoT integration: Sensor data (e.g. gas detectors, temperature, oxygen levels) is visualized in context.
- Workflow integration: Through the API, UDiTH connects with Permit-to-Work systems; approvals and risk assessments can be linked to visualized areas.
- CoTrack for risk tracking: Risks, clarifications, or corrective actions are managed as tickets with assignments, approvals, and documentation.
- Reporting & dashboards: Safety KPIs and compliance reports are generated automatically for audits and management oversight.
Relevant UDiTH capabilities
- Historian insight: Real-time IoT data from various detectors and sensors is visualized directly in the 3D model or P&ID. This creates live awareness of risks and supports predictive safety actions.
- CoTrack: Manage risk assessments, corrective actions, and approvals in structured workflows.
- Sketching: Define risk zones and simulate protective measures in lightweight 3D and P&ID sketches.
- Animation: Simulate 4D schedules or animate moving equipment to analyze safety risks.
- Markups: Add quick annotations to highlight hazards, blocked areas, or unsafe conditions in 3D or P&IDs.
- Reports: Create reports for risk registers, safety checklists, and compliance documentation easily in UDiTH with simple Excel export for external use.
- Historian insight: Visualize real-time sensor data (gas detectors, temperature, vibration) in the digital twin for predictive safety.
- API integration: Connect with Permit-to-Work or HSE systems for seamless approvals and alignment.
- Custom apps & connectors: Extend analytics with dashboards or BI tools like Power BI, or integrate customized workflows and applications.
