Integrating Digital Production Systems

Abstract

Digitalization processes are now closely linked to the integration of economic actors. To a greater extent, production systems are interested in integration processes, as in modern conditions advanced production technologies rely on modern digital platforms. At present, production industries in the regions of the Russian Federation are developing unevenly, on the basis of digital technologies. The article discusses the process of multiple integration, defines it and highlights its structural elements. In order to compare countries in terms of the level of their digital development, they were classified according to the value of the international index of their digital economy and society. As a result, Russia is part of the last group. Consequently, the Russian Federation faced serious challenges in improving its digital status, especially in the field of production. On the basis of statistical data, the article describes the digital profile of the regions of the Russian Federation. A typology of integration processes of production systems based on digital technologies was developed. The results of the study show that within the wide variety of integration processes, the most important are those that occur on the basis of digital technologies.
