Vectors for accelerating enterprise smart-industrialisation

Abstract

The article articulates an original definition of smart industrialisation as a holistic transformation of manufacturing driven by digital technologies, data and innovation. It synthesises experience with cyberphysical systems and the Industrial Internet of Things in the creation of dynamic digital twins, which enable real-time monitoring and optimisation of production processes. The key acceleration vectors for enterprise smart industrialisation are identified as: the technological vector (deployment of Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and predictive maintenance); the organisational-managerial vector (adoption of Agile methodologies and Lean 4.0); the human-capital and educational vector (continuous training and reskilling); and the ecosystem vector (engagement in public-private partnerships and industry consortia). Major barriers are shown to include high capital expenditures, underdeveloped IT infrastructure, a shortage of qualified specialists and the absence of a unified strategy. To address these challenges, the paper proposes phased «quick-win» projects to demonstrate value, modular modernisation of IT infrastructure and the establishment of digital centres of excellence. It is demonstrated that the integrated implementation of these vectors can markedly shorten time-to-impact, enhance production agility and resilience, and bolster technological sovereignty in global markets.
