Efficient Digital Platforms In Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

The article defines the directions of transition of the glass industry from the traditional concept of building business models based on the resource approach to the new concept of digital production and substantiates its importance, relevance and efficiency. The authors review the methodical support of glass industry transition to digital production. The systematic benefits are proved by digital transformation of all business processes and business models in the glass industry. At the industry level, the transformation of the glass industry is characterized by the minimization of human participation in the production process and the transition to effective data-based management. In addition to the wide implementation of ERP solutions, the technology contributing to the transformation of traditional manufacturing in the digital and characterized by full digital integration of production and logistic chains and supply chains include: - digital design and modeling as a set of technologies of computer designing, computer engineering and supercomputing, mathematical modeling, optimization, and technological preparation of production, focused on additive manufacturing, and developing smart models and smart digital doubles; - use of new synthetic materials, especially composite materials, silicates, metamaterials and metal powders for additive manufacturing.. Moreover, they are likely to be accompanied by a large-scale transformation of common technological operations known as "smart", that makes it possible to develop an innovative digital glass factory and transfer from "Glass Industry 4.0" to "Glass Industry 5.0", providing the corresponding shift to new technological instructions.
