Prerequisites for the development of digitalization in regional industry

Abstract

The study is a logical continuation of the study of the modern development of digital transformation in the economy of the Khabarovsk Territory in comparison with the average Russian development. At the same time, the regions of the Far East have their own specific difficulties in the development of the "Digital Economy". In this study, an attempt is made to compare the strategic goals of the development of the "Digital Economy", modern processes of digital transformation and such an important component of it as "Integration 4.0" - the fourth stage of evolution in industrial production associated with the "industrial Internet", digital production, intelligent components, including the collection of large amounts of data in many geographical areas, cyber-physical systems, remote monitoring and maintenance. "Industry 4.0" helps to accelerate production processes, increase its efficiency, improve the quality of goods (products of production), reduce the cost of delivery, tracking production chains, etc. In the industry of Western countries, Industry 4.0 standards have already been developed and implemented in production management, the basis of which is horizontal and vertical integration of production. International standards are developed for industries that use computer algorithms to monitor and control physical things, such as equipment, robots and vehicles. All this ensures a high level of transparency and control over the activities of the organization. At the present stage, there are excellent opportunities for the development of Industry 4.0 in Russia, but there are also difficulties, overcoming which are significant directions of the digitalization processes of the modern economy.
