Digital Production and Biotechnology as a New Techno-Economic Paradigm

Abstract

Digital technologies continue to actively penetrate into all spheres of human activity. At the same time, there has been a trend in production to move from the use of individual solutions to the introduction of unified knowledge, technology and competency management systems - digital platforms. The use of new materials, computer engineering and virtual modeling technologies, additive technologies, the “industrial Internet”, mechatronics and robotics ensures the growth of the quality of traditional and the emergence of fundamentally new products, reducing the costs of creating and manufacturing products, including by reducing the volume of full-scale tests, terms bringing finished products to market, and generally increasing the predictability of industrial systems. It becomes possible to carry out a quick restructuring of production facilities for various conditions, which ensures the customization of production, as well as quickly respond to market changes.
