Digital platforms for industrial clusters and enterprises

Abstract

In the conditions of modern economic development, characterized by transforming and restructuring of the economies of different world powers to the new management forms associated with the active introduction of information and telecommunication technologies, it is possible to speak about active formation and development of economies. The issues of transformation are becoming particularly relevant for the integrated structures represented by industrial clusters. It is important to understand that industrial clusters can be considered in the structure of an evolutionary transition: a protocluster - a cluster - an industrial cluster - an innovative industrial cluster -an innovative-active industrial cluster - a system-forming innovation-active industrial all these differ from each other in the level of innovation activity, as well as in the amount of potential, which is formed and developed in the process of the active implementation of various tools, as well as the creation of platforms, on which all participants in the cluster communicate. Purpose of the research is the identification of the essential characteristics and structure of platforms of industrial clusters and enterprises. As elements of the scientific novelty of the presented research, it is possible to out: the author's definition of the concept of digital platform of an industrial cluster, an approach to considering options for the functioning of platforms in the structure of individual industrial enterprises and clusters, as well as the proposed graphical structural and functional models reflecting the scheme of work of a smart production at an industrial enterprise and the structure of a single platform for an industrial cluster. Within the framework of this scientific article, the methods of generalization and graphic analysis were used, which made it possible to fully reflect the results of the research carried out within the framework of the problem under consideration.
