The Impact

Since 1997, the mining industry has paid attention to develop information-technology (IT) components at sectoral and enterprise levels. However, due to various reasons, including the interest of business and sector leaders as well as limited resources, IT in the mining industry is still on a small scale, in which it has not yet linked to a network and had a shared database, and is therefore not shared. Under the impact of Industry Revolution 4.0, to develop the IT field as an essential tool to promote the technologies of the 4.0 technology component, a systematic policy combination is needed. This article is responsible for meeting that demand of the IT field of Vietnam's mining industry. Keywords Industry 4.0, IT, IT policy. References [1] K.

The ability to optimize costs based on knowledge of business processes during the period of change represented by the fourth industrial revolution is absolutely crucial. This paper is dedicated to the issue of cost management and allocation of overhead costs using the Activity Based Costing (ABC) method under the condition of an industrial enterprise. The aim of the authors was to propose a model that focuses on the allocation of overhead costs and calculation of assignment rates of overhead activities, which mutually cooperate. The proposed model enables objective stipulation of assignment rates of mutually cooperating overhead activities using exact economic-mathematical methods -the Leontief structural model. It was proven that use of the structural model, even in the case of multiple overhead and primary activities, leads to the considerable simplification of calculations when determining the assignment rates of overhead activities.

Abstract In this paper, we argue that antecedents of modern corporate social responsibility (CSR) prior to the Industrial Revolution can be referred to as “proto-CSR” to describe a practice that influenced modern CSR, but which is different from its modern counterparts in form and structure. We develop our argument with the history of miners’ guilds in medieval Germany—religious fraternities and secular mutual aid societies. Based on historical data collected by historians and archeologists, we reconstruct a long-term process of pragmatic experimentation with institutions of mutual aid that address social problems in the early mining industry, and thus before the rise of the modern state and the capitalist firm. Co-shaped by economic and political actors, these institutions of mutual aid have influenced the social responsibility programs of early industrialists, modern social welfare legislation, and contemporary CSR. We conjecture that other elements of proto-CSR might have evolved according to similar trajectories.

Innovation Strategies

The South African mining industry has a history of a range of major challenges, including high operating costs that have had a negative impact on mines’ profitability and financial sustainability. The advent of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies has opened up new opportunities for the mining industry, among other things, to improve its cost-effectiveness and future competitiveness. Most South African mining companies have begun to adopt Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies; however, quite a large number of their projects have not been successful. The main objective of the paper is to conduct an integrative literature review to determine why some of the companies in the minerals, mining, and processing industry have not been successful in implementing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies. The findings of the study outline areas of organisational and technological capability on which the industry could focus when developing future innovation strategies.

The Impact

The activity of the mining industry in the South of the Russian Empire, of which Ukraine was part at that time, is analyzed. It is noted that the rapid development of industry in the Russian Empire after the abolition of serfdom in 1861 opened up opportunities for investors to raise capital. Information is given about why Kharkiv became the center of investment life of mine owners, namely its good geographical location. Data on the number of inhabitants of the city and the number of trading institutions are provided. The stages in the formation of the mining industry of the South of the Russian Empire as a driving force for economic development in Ukraine are highlighted.The causes of weak coal sales from the Donbas and the development of the factory industry of Ukraine in the 1860s are analyzed. It is shown how these issues were resolved. In particular, mining congresses were organized to discuss and resolve these issues.It is shown how the decisions of mining congresses influenced the development of the country's economy at the end of the nineteenth century. Examples of issues discussed at these congresses are given. In particular, the congresses discussed – workers, higher and secondary specialized education, mining credit, insurance, the ratio of the mining industry to zemstvos and land taxation of enterprises of the mining industry, taxes, land relations, postal, telegraph and telephone traffic, passenger traffic in the Southern Russia area, duties, ports, marinas, navigable rivers and canals, shipbuilding and merchant shipping, export of mineral fuel abroad, construction of new railways, etc. It should be noted that the central issue discussed at almost all mining congresses was the question of tariffs, and this was not a coincidence, since it directly concerned the markets for industrialists without whom production could not be developed, and with it the intensification of the industrial revolution. Therefore, this problem, in one form or another, has arisen constantly.Information is provided on the number of such congresses, as well as on the creation of a permanent body, the Council of Miners of the South of the Russian Empire. It analyzes the so-called “coal crisis” and the role of major mining companies in the collusion. The monopolization of the market is considered. Emphasis is placed on the customs policy of the tsarist government. Speculation on temporary fuel difficulties is illustrated. It is noted that at the end of the 1890s, there were especially high rates of development of the Donbas coal industry. Special tariffs for the export of Donetsk coal abroad were introduced. Thus, in the last quarter of the 19th century, the mining and monopolization of the mining industry of the south of the Russian Empire were enlarged and monopolized.

ABSTRAKPemerintah RI dalam upaya pengimplementasian Revolusi Industri 4.0 di bidang industri telah menetapkan 10 langkah prioritas nasional, yaitu roadmap yang dikenal dengan Making Indonesia 4.0, yang mencakup perbaikan alur aliran barang dan material, desain ulang zona industri, akomodasi standar-standar keberlanjutan, pemberdayaaan UMKM, pembangunan infrastruktur digital nasional, peningkatan minat investasi asing, peningkatan kualitas SDM, pembangunan ekosistem inovasi, pemberian insentif untuk investasi teknologi, dan harmonisasi aturan dan kebijakan. Melalui pemetaan ini, industri tambang menjadi salah satu unit industri yang penting untuk mewujudkan revolusi industri 4.0. Meskipun pada tahun 2018 trend insdutri global mengalami pergeseran dari industri ekstraktif (extractive industry) menjadi industri disruptif (disruptive industry), seperti perusahaan-perusahaan teknologi maupun perusahaan berbasis R&D (research and development), revolusi industri tidak serta merta dapat tercapai tanpa adanya peran dari sektor industri ekstraktif, misalnya sektor industri pertambangan, seperti pengadaan bahan baku industri, penggiatan energi terbarukan, hingga penyediaan segala fasilitas dan infrastruktur pendukung bergeraknya revolusi industri 4.0 di Indonesia, contohnya pemenuhan kebutuhan listrik. Untuk itu dilakukan penelitian dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengkaji arah kebijakan sektor industri pertambangan sebagai sektor utama dalam mendukung perkembangan revolusi industri di Indonesia. Berdasarkan peraturan pemerintah yang dikeluarkan dalam KEN dan RUEN, serta UU Minerba Nomor 4/2009, terdapat hal mendasar yang perlu diperhatikan pemerintah, yakni kebijakan mengenai ketahanan energi nasional. Pemerintah harus mulai memperhitungkan keterdiaan energi dalam kebijakan yang juga menyangkut pembangunan berkelanjutan (sustainable development) sebagai upaya untuk mengendalikan sumber daya maupun cadangan batubara di dalam negeri untuk sumber energi nasional melalui kebijakan pembentukan Wilayah Cadangan Negara (WPN) khususnya batubara. Pembuatan neraca sumber daya alam sebagai langkah awal pembentukan kebijakan berbasis riset diharapkan dapat ditindaklanjuti dengan perhitungan yang matang mengenai ketahanan energi hingga perhitungan ekonomis terkait kerusakan lingkungan, karena meskip hingga pertengahan tahun 2019 PNBP di sektor mineral dan batubara telah mencapai Rp19,16 triliun atau 44,28% dari target tahun 2019, terdapat kemungkinan bahwa angka penerimaan ini tidak sebanding dengan besaran nilai yang dibutuhkan untuk kompensasi kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh adanya aktifitas pertambangan. Kebijakan pemerintah kedepannya diharapkan tidak hanya berfokus pada kebijakan DMO, besaran royalti, ekspor impor, hilirisasi, konversi maupun konservasi energi, namun perhitungan matang terhadap ketahanan dan ketersediaan energi nasional melalui pembentukan WCN batubara, karena batubara sebagai target bauran energi utama Indonesia merupakan energi fosil tidak dapat diperbaharui yang diperkirakan habis dalam 71 tahun, dan dapat lebih cepat apabila bauran batubara Indonesia sesuai proyeksi mencapai 38% di tahun 2025 (asumsi business as usual). Kata Kunci: kebijakan, cadangan energi, batubara ABSTRACTThe Government of Indonesia in the attempt to implement the Industrial Revolution 4.0 through its Ministry of Industry has set 10 national priorities, known as Making Indonesia 4.0, which includes improving the flow of goods and materials, redesigning industrial zones, accommodating the sustainability standards, empowering MSMEs, developing the national digital infrastructure, increasing foreign investment interest, improving the quality of human resources, building an innovative ecosystem, providing incentives for technological investment, and harmonizing rules and policies. Through this roadmap, the mining industry became one of the important industrial units to support the realization of industrial revolution 4.0 in Indonesia. Although in 2018 the global industry trend has shifted from an extractive industry to a disruptive industry, such as technology companies and R&D (research and development) based companies, the industrial revolution cannot necessarily be achieved without the role of extractive industry sectors, for example the mining industry, in supporting the raw materials, facilities and infrastructure, and electricity. For this reason, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted to examine the policy in terms of mining industry. Based on government regulations issued in KEN and RUEN, and Mining and Minerals Law, there are basic things that need to be considered by the government, namely policies on national energy security. The government must begin to take into account the availability of energy in its policies that also in line with the sustainable development as an effort to control domestic coal resources and reserves for national energy sources by establishing a State Reserve Area (WPN) policy especially for coal. Creating a natural resource balance as a first step in setting up a research-based policy is expected to be followed up by a careful calculation of energy security to economic calculations related to environmental damage, because even with the high amount of PNBP in the mineral and coal sectorthere is a possibility that this is not proportional to the amount of value needed to compensate for the environmental damage. Future government policies are expected to focus not only on DMO policies, royalties, export-imports, downstream, conversion and energy conservation, but also careful calculation of national energy security and availability through the formation of coal WCN, because as Indonesia's main energy mix, coal is fossil energy which estimated to be used up in the next 71 years, and can be faster if the percentage of coal in Indonesian energy mix reaches 38% in 2025 as projected (business as usual).Keywords: policy, energy reserve, coal

In recent years, the world economy has undergone dynamic technological changes known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. One of the main areas of these changes is the practical use of information systems to optimize production processes. Universal digitization results in the emergence of cyber-physical systems that, apart from the Internet of Things, are beginning to be used more and more widely in many industries. These changes are being applied also in the mining industry, including the Polish coal mining. Competition on the global energy market and growing requirements in the field of work safety and environmental protection make it necessary to take decisive action to modernize and adapt this industry to global standards. The article presents the results of the use of information technology in the process of hard coal production in mines owned by Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A., a leading coal mining company in Poland. The paper focuses on the operation of the powered roof systems which, in addition to protecting the work environment (longwall area), is also a construction base for the entire longwall system. The monitoring of the operation of individual sections of the support therefore allows control and evaluation of the condition and efficiency of the entire powered unit. The solution proposed by the authors should enable this process to be carried out.

Abstract The aim of the article is to present the perspective of maintenance development in the context of the 4.0 industry concept. One of the factors that determine the safe and effective use of machines and devices is the properly maintained maintenance process. Correct performance of activities as part of this process requires the use of appropriate knowledge and experience from people implementing this process. Very important in this process is, above all, good organization of work and technical knowledge. The very rapid development of technology causes that teams dealing with the maintenance of traffic in enterprises must systematically acquire knowledge and optimize their activities. Effective exploitation of all types of devices is a set of rules, rules, procedures and actions, the main aspect of which is a human being. Knowledge resources should have appropriate substantive content adapted to the recipient. The article presents a modern solution supporting the maintenance process, taking into account the tools supporting the activities of human teams. The basic principles of maintenance in the enterprise covering machine monitoring systems, production management and management of information on the state of the machine park are discussed. There are also examples of the use of selected tools in the mining industry. Reference was also made to the prospects and directions of the development of maintenance in relation to the fourth industrial revolution.
