Digitising Integrated Operator Environment: Challenges, Advantages, and Future Considerations
Abstract: This study examines the impact of an integrated operator environment (IOE) on decision-making and operational efficiency in shift-based engineering systems. A simplified IOE model was implemented using digitised Excel-based inputs integrated into an online platform with cloud storage. The methodology involved comparative observation of workflow efficiency, shift handover quality, and decision-making response time before and after implementation. Results indicate improved decision-making speed, enhanced collaboration, reduced miscommunication, and better shift continuity. The system also showed potential for reducing operational inefficiencies and improving data accessibility. Key challenges include cybersecurity risks, data complexity, and resistance to change. The findings suggest that IOE provides a scalable framework for improving productivity in shift-based environments, with future enhancements expected through artificial intelligence, 5G, and edge computing technologies.
