ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to present the premises and assumptions for the construction of a platform intended to collect, process, and analyse large data sets, as well as to
make business services available in a large industrial enterprise such as KGHM Polska Miedź.
In particular, the analysis covered issues related to Data Governance and SOA Governance.
Consideration is also given to IT architecture and organisational structure as elements necessary to build the Competence Centre for Data Analyses and Processing.
1 INTRODUCTION
After three major industrial revolutions (mechanisation, electrification, and digitisation) we
are in the fourth stage, referred to as Industry 4.0. The result of the third revolution, i.e. Industry 3.0, was the digitisation of enterprises, which opened the possibility to process data on a
large scale; also, micro-controllers were created to control machines, and the level of automation increased. Management, planning, and control systems were set up to facilitate coordination in the area of production. Industry 4.0 goes one step further with its goal of integrating
people, digitally controlled machines connected to the Internet (IoT – Internet of Things), and
information systems. Translating these premises into reality requires designing an appropriate
IT infrastructure, implementing appropriate IT tools, and introducing organisational changes.
The term Industry 4.0 was used for the first time at the Hanover trade fair in 2011 (Industrie 4.0. 2011). In April 2013, a group led by Siegfried Dais of Robert Bosch GmbH in
cooperation with Henning Kagermann (acatech – Deutsche Akademie der Technikwissenschaften) presented a final report to the German Federal Government containing guidelines
for the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept (in German: Industrie 4.0) (Kagermann,
H. & Wahlster, W. & Helbig, J. 2013). In Poland, with a press release dated May 31, 2017,
the Ministry of Digitisation announced the establishment of Polish Industry Platform 4.0
(Ministerstwo Rozwoju. 2017). Further work on the platform resulted in the development of
a draft law on the Future Industry Platform Foundation, which was adopted by the Council
of Ministers on October 16, 2018 (Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów. 2018).
The concept of Industry 4.0 was also adopted by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. In 2018, KGHM
4.0 Programme was launched, which includes key projects from various areas of the company
(production safety, management, information, and maintenance of machinery and devices). In
order to ensure effective implementation, this programme was divided into three areas: Industry,
ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and support projects. The ICT area comprises two key projects: “Implementation of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)” and “Development of Data Governance Processes, including policies and standards for data processed
within business areas”. These projects are closely related to the subject of this paper.
