DTs could be labelled as an inherently Safe-by-Design (SbD) strategy and can be applied at different stages in the life cycle of a process. The EU-funded project ASINA has the ambition to promote coherent, applicable and scientifically sound SbD nano-practices. In particular, in the field of nanomanufacturing, ASINA intends to deliver innovative SbD solutions applied to process (P-SbD). In this context, ASINA will investigate the use of DTs as a disruptive digital technology for the prevention, prediction and control of nano-forms airborne emission and worker exposure. This paper introduces the concept of DT in the field of nano-processes SbD and outlines the preliminary architecture of ASINA-DT, that will be developed and implemented by ASINA in one industrial scenario.1717221enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.1088/1742-6596/1953/1/012010Digital TwinsIndustry 4.0NanomanufacturingControl of nano-forms airborne emissionWorker exposureDigital TwinsIndustry 4.0NanomanufacturingControl of nano-forms airborne emissionWorker exposureGeneral Physics and AstronomySDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/862444/EU/Anticipating Safety Issues at the Design Stage of NAno Product Development/ASINAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/862444/EU/Anticipating Safety Issues at the Design Stage of NAno Product Development/ASINAFunding InfoThe project ASINA received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement Nº 862444.
