Abstract
The paper considers the use of digital technologies to achieve and increase the level of sustainability of enterprises specializing in iron and steel industry. The aim of the study is to develop strategic activities for implementation of fundamental digital tools in the industry. To conduct the research, such scientific methods as deduction, analysis and synthesis, generalization, method of scientific abstraction, historical and logical analysis, system approach were applied. The key trends and current state of the iron and steel industry are studied, the main tasks for achieving structural modernization of enterprises are identified. The author studies the main stages of iron and steel industry development in context of industrial revolutions: breakthrough innovations for automation of production processes within Industry 4.0 are defined – such as cyberphysical systems, Big data analytics and decentralized management systems. Taking into account national development priorities of the Russian Federation, the need to achieve sustainable development of industrial enterprises, including the iron and steel industry, is determined. The article highlights current key issues in the industry, and on that basis the paper concludes on necessary measures to solve them (such as introduction of digital equipment for monitoring and controlling all production and management processes, as well as creation of integrated automated control systems to coordinate all functional areas of an enterprise specializing in iron and steel industry).
