Challenges for Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

The transitional stage in scientific and technological development, the complex processes of adoption of modern innovations are associated with the implementation of the concept of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0. At this moment, its analogues and more advanced versions are being implemented all over the world. Having become the universally recognised management term, Industry 4.0 is used in a much broader sense than its original meaning, encompassing many innovations. Among them are smart manufacturing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, a variety of nano-devices, 3D printing (including food, organs and tissues), medical robotic surgeons, and many others. The emergence of new technologies is not accidental, it is an answer to the pressing problems of modern generations who want to save time and money by receiving services in digital format.
