From Digital Tools to Full Value: Real-World Lessons in Offshore Security, Safety, and Operational Efficiency

Wednesday, 6 May
Room 300
Panel
This panel will focus on what it takes to move from a promising digital technology pilot to full, safe, and sustainable integration across both internal operations and the broader ecosystem. The panelists will discuss real-world experience where advanced digital technologies—such as AI, Digital Twins, Robotics, and others—have been applied to improve safety and operational efficiency, and what was required to realize their value (or why they fell short). Their lessons learned will bring to the audience that technology alone is never enough. Often, success depends on changes to standards, approval processes, KPIs, and workforce training. New risks—such as data security issues, automation errors, or gaps in human oversight—may (or may not) be identified and managed. Furthermore, the complications arising from legal and regulatory adoption usually lag technology development and deployment, which slows progress.
