IoT enabled offshore infrastructure management and its impact on monitoring maintenance safety compliance and structural resilience
摘要
Offshore infrastructure operates in harsh environments where timely monitoring, maintenance planning, and safety management are essential for operational reliability. This study evaluates how Internet of Things (IoT) enabled monitoring systems influence offshore infrastructure management performance. A questionnaire survey of offshore professionals was analyzed to examine the relationships between IoT implementation and operational outcomes including real-time monitoring capability, predictive maintenance practices, safety compliance, and structural resilience. The results indicate that IoT implementation significantly improves monitoring visibility, supports data-driven maintenance decisions, and enhances safety compliance processes. Improvements in resilience are primarily associated with early fault detection and proactive maintenance planning rather than direct structural diagnostics. The findings demonstrate that integrated digital monitoring environments strengthen operational awareness and reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures in offshore operations. The study contributes by empirically modeling IoT as an operational management capability linking monitoring information to maintenance and safety performance within offshore infrastructure systems.
