“…However, even in studies such as Lim et al's [51] the tactile feedback does not provide directional information and is not in the form of tactile memory. In the industrial setting, Heinz et al [52] presented how tactile feedback has been used in work gloves, bracelets, and shoes to provide workers with tactile information about their surrounding industrial setup. Tactile feedback in an industrial setting has been used for teleportation control systems [53]; mid-air haptic feedback and glove haptics have been used in industrial settings for better and safer usage of tooling [54].…”

Tactile memory is the cognitive process of storing and recalling information that has been perceived through the sense of touch. Directional tactile memory involves the encoding and retrieval of sensory data associated with a tactile experience, allowing individuals to remember and recognize directional information encoded through the sense of touch. A new method for providing directional tactile feedback, at the back of the user, has been developed to investigate the efficacy of directional tactile memory, its decay over time, and its impact during a concurrent cognitive task. Two experiments were presented. In the first experiment, tactile memory deterioration, with a visual or a tactile cue, was tested with different action-cue latencies (10 s and 20 s). In the second experiment, we considered tactile memory deterioration when there was an increased cognitive load as the participants played Tetris. Forty volunteers participated in the two experiments using purpose-built tactile seats with nine motors controlled by an Arduino. The performance data (error and reaction times) were analyzed statistically, and a NASA task load index (NASA-TLX) questionnaire was administered to measure the subjective workload after each of the two experiments. The findings highlighted that the directional tactile memory of the back can guide individuals to the correct point on the screen and that it can be maintained for at least 20 s. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of errors or reaction time with a visual or tactile action cue. However, being involved in a concurrent cognitive task (playing Tetris) adversely affected the reaction time, the number of errors, and the directional tactile memory, which degraded as the time between the directional cue and the action cue increased. Participants perceived the performance while playing Tetris as significantly more mentally and perceptually demanding, requiring more mental and physical effort and being more frustrating. These trials revealed a new potential for a human–machine interface system, leveraging directional tactile memory, which might be utilized to increase the safety of autonomous vehicles.

“…Additionally, the collected biometric data, such as heart rate, glucose level, blood pressure, and body location, are useful to track personal wellness in realtime [54]- [56]. The system can detect any slip, trip and fall, triggering an alert and an immediate incident response [57].…”

Human Centric Digital Transformation and Operator 4.0 for the Oil and Gas Industry

Working at an oil and gas facility, such as a drilling rig, production facility, processing facility, or storage facility, involves various challenges, including health and safety risks. It is possible to leverage emerging digital technologies such as smart sensors, wearable or mobile devices, big data analytics, cloud computing, extended reality technologies, robotic systems, and drones to mitigate the challenges faced by oil and gas workers. While these technologies are not new to the oil and gas industry, most of its existing digital transformation initiatives follow business or process-centric approaches, in which the critical driver of the technology adoption is the enhancement of production, efficiency, and revenue. As a result, they may not address the challenges faced by the workers. As oil and gas workers are among the essential assets in the oil and gas industry, it is vital to address the challenges faced by these workers. This paper proposes a human-centric digital transformational framework for the oil and gas industry to deploy existing digital technologies to enhance their workers' health, safety, and working conditions. The paper outlines the critical challenges faced by oilfield workers, introduces a system architecture to implements a human-centric digital transformation, discusses the opportunities of the proposed framework, and summarizes the key impediment for the proposed framework.
