Industry 4.0 provides substantial opportunities to ensure a safer environment through online monitoring, early detection of faults, and preventing the faults to failures transitions. Decision making is an important step in abnormal situation management. Assigning risk based on the consequences may provide additional information for abnormal situation management decisions to prevent the accident before it occurs. This paper analyzes the interconnections between the three essential aspects of process safety: fault detection and diagnosis (FDD), risk assessment (RA), and abnormal situation management (ASM) in the context of the current and next generation of process systems. The authors present their thoughts on research directions in process safety in Industry 4.0. This article aims to serve as a road map for the next generation of process safety research to enable safer and sustainable process operations and development.

工业4.0通过在线监视，及早发现故障并防止从故障到故障的转变提供了确保更安全环境的巨大机会。决策是异常情况管理中的重要步骤。根据后果分配风险可能会为异常情况管理决策提供更多信息，以防止事故发生。本文分析了过程安全的三个基本方面之间的相互联系：故障检测和诊断（FDD），风险评估（RA）和异常情况管理（ASM）在当前和下一代过程系统的背景下。作者对工业4.0中过程安全的研究方向提出了自己的想法。
