Digitalization and robotization as instruments for managing the production of innovative goods and services

The absence in modern economic science of a clear idea of the place of robotics in the reproduction process led to the purpose of the study: to determine the place of robotics in managing the reproduction of innovative goods and services in digitalization. The authors conducted a study of the problems of modernization and the creation of a model of industrial-technotronic economic development in the context of digitalization. During the study, the authors identified the main aspects of modernization, the order and stages of transformation. According to the author’s concept, modernization is considered as a form of three levels: the level of the working machine (micro level); level of industrial stage of production, level of national economy. Particular attention is paid to the problem of digitization and robotization of processes as tools for managing the production of goods and services. The authors proposed a new model for the reproduction of goods and services, including, in addition to traditionally production, processes associated with applied research. n the course of the study, a mechanism was developed for the transition from a four-link control system to a five-link (“unmanned technology”). The paper found that the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of digitalization and robotization is of a twofold nature: increasing labor productivity while increasing the number of workers released. The problems associated with the implementation of the digital economy implementation program in Russia are identified. The contradictions that arise during the creation and implementation of “smart robots” in the process of managing the production of goods and services are identified.
