This research provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of digitalization on the coal mining sector, with a special focus on PT X. 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. X. 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. X 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. X navigating the complex landscape of Industry 4.0.

Rising environmental pollution necessitates advanced water quality testing technologies. Traditional methods are giving way to innovative strategies merging sensor detection and IoT technologies, ready for deployment on Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). This review delves into the expanding landscape of remote water quality testing, highlighting diverse methodologies' advantages and the use of IoT-enabled testing on USVs. Responding to urban river monitoring needs, a small USV-based cloud platform has been deployed. It remotely monitors real-time water quality indicators such as temperature, pH, conductivity, TDS, and turbidity. Utilizing IoT, it allows remote operation and real-time data transmission to the networked LabVIEW instrument. This facilitates instant data access and analysis, providing a comprehensive view of the Qianshan River Basin water quality. The platform's innovative design offers a scientific basis for improving the river basin's water quality and environment.

“…Finalement, une piste prioritaire concerne les nombreux impacts sociétaux liés aux développements de ces technologies. Le premier impact est certainement environnemental : ainsi en termes de dépenses énergétiques, le développement de plateformes web, de mondes virtuels ou encore des objets connectés mais également le stockage et l’analyse des données nécessaires pour les développements liés à l’intelligence artificielle ou la blockchain (Wang et Su, 2020 ; Wu et al 2022) constituent un enjeu sociétal important. Le second impact sociétal significatif se mesure en termes humain.…”
