Summary: | This research provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of digitalization on the
coal mining sector, with a special focus on PT Bara Sumatra Energi (BSE). The
study employs a combination of content analysis, narrative analysis, and business
solution mapping to extract insights from interviews conducted with five key
stakeholders at PT BSE. The objective is to assess how technological advancements
can elevate operational efficiency and competitiveness in the era of Industry 4.0,
and to identify strategies for effectively reducing reliance on human resources in
site monitoring, while ensuring employee satisfaction and smooth transition.
Through the methodological triangulation of content and narrative analysis, the
study distils crucial themes and perspectives from the interviews. It identifies that
the integration of advanced technologies like IoT, data analytics, and automation is
vital for enhancing operational efficiency and reducing operational downtime. The
research highlights the importance of transitioning from manual to automated site
monitoring, emphasizing the adoption of drones and automated systems to bolster
operational accuracy and efficiency. A key finding of the study is the identification
of potential obstacles in digital technology investment, such as cost, system
integration challenges, and employee resistance to new technologies. The study
suggests that overcoming these barriers requires effective communication strategies
and comprehensive training programs for employees. Drawing on the successful
digital transformation strategies of companies like Adaro, the research recommends
that PT BSE should adapt similar strategies, customized to its unique challenges
and context. The study contributes valuable insights into the digital transformation
process in the coal mining sector, offering practical recommendations for
companies like PT BSE navigating the complex landscape of Industry 4.0 |
