Be Prepared: What Areas Digitalization Will Affect?
Previously, advanced digital technologies primarily went into the military industry, but now
they help to process information and simulate experience in everyday life.
To understand how digitalization is developing, we looked at who is doing this in Russia and how our examples correspond to global trends.
First, we will talk about the very concept of digitalization, and then we will see how it works in economics, business, medicine, culture and other areas.
What is digitalization?
Digitalization is the introduction of digital technologies in various spheres of life to improve it's quality and develop the economy. It helps to carry out routine tasks and make decisions without human intervention.
Examples of digitalization: smart homes, factory robots, unmanned vehicles.
The essence of digitalization in process automation is the transition of information to a more accessible digital environment, where it is easier to analyze, and then get the exact solution autonomously.
The goal of digitalization is to make the process "flexible." That is, with the help of data analysis, to know exactly what the market wants at a particular moment, and adjust it to this production or business.
Types of Digitalization
The main tools here are Big Data, machine learning, neural networks, AI(artificial intelligence), human - machine interfaces, virtual reality, Internet of things, and robotics.
But do not confuse “digitalization” with “informatization” -technologies that help us exchange information faster: mobile communications, instant messengers, email.
Digitalization of the economy
The digitalization of the economy in Russia is carried out by the eponymous non - profit organization Digital Economy.
Project Objectives:

Digitalization of Production:
In this direction, digitalization is closely adjacent to the concept of industry 4.0. Enterprises are becoming autonomous, and control systems control not only conveyors, but entire plants or their groups.
In Russia, these projects are working on industrial digitalization:
NEOSYNTHESIS
manages complex industrial construction projects. The system combines all the information into one repository and manages the engineering data at all stages of the life cycle of the object.
Clover Smart Maintenance data mining platform - helps assess the technical condition of any type of transport or factory equipment: avoid downtime, control quality, and send it in for repair on time.
Industrial equipment monitoring system “DISPATCHER” - based on data collection, optimizes the operation of factories.

Energy Digitalization
Energy is one of the most developed sectors of Russia in matters of digitalization. The largest companies model mining operations based on Big Data and automate control centers.
Tatneft, Lukoil, Gazprom Neft and Rosneft have Smart Well projects. This is an oil production system with sensors that help the well itself to adapt to changing conditions, conduct operational control and reduce production costs.
Digitalization of agriculture:
The agricultural sector needs IT systems that help:
- Predict crop yields.
- Predict negative effects on agriculture, such as weather.
- Automate sowing, watering, harvesting.
Digitalization of Education:
The main directions of digitalization of the education system in Russia are indicated by the report "12 solutions for new education." It has measures that will make an ordinary school - digital , for example:
·
Implement games and simulations - they will help to make learning more visual and work for schoolchildren in a team.
·
Make a distance learning system when you study where it is convenient, and you pass exams in the classroom.
·
Create a system that will select an individual training program for each.
Healthcare Digitalization:
For developed countries, the introduction of digital technology in medicine is the development of new tools :surgical robots, carers robots, exoskeletons. And for developing ones - the transition to electronic accounting systems, remote diagnostics and equipping personnel with new equipment.
Foreign examples of digital medicine are IBM Watson and Wolters Kluwer. The first platform helps doctors make more accurate decisions thanks to artificial intelligence. The second is a database of drugs with information about their compatibility, contraindications.
There are fewer examples in Russia. Medical and Surgical Center. Pirogova uses a comprehensive medical information system, as well as a single platform for all administrative divisions. By 2024, the system for providing preferential medicines will start working. EGISZ is already working - a unified information system with unified electronic medical records .

Business Digitalization:
High competition in business makes it one of the most advanced in the " digital " areas. Here digitalization is not so much production or marketing as management. Technology monitors demand and customer satisfaction, analyzes and predicts business indicators, suggests what changes a corporate culture needs.
Basically, digitalization in business is chatbots or CRM - customer relationship management and resource planning systems. They are developed by IT companies like 1C and Bitrix24.

Digitalization of Finance:
Financial digitalization is non - cash payments and blockchain. Moreover, blockchain is needed not only in the form of cryptocurrencies , but also in the form of protection of monetary transactions. Along with this, mobile banking, online shopping, and remote payment are being digitized.
A separate topic is the digitalization of banks, where more and more often it is more convenient for customers to resolve issues remotely through the bank's application, rather than go to the branch. Without leaving your home, you can draw up a bank card, get an account statement, buy securities or use robotic advisors, where AI will draw up an investment portfolio for you based on your desired profitability and risk tolerance.
Digitalization of Labor:
The labor market is vulnerable to digital technology because automation drives people out of certain professions.
Digitalization of staff will eliminate the need for cashiers, typists, packers, postmen, watchmen. Some specialists will remain in these positions, but they will have to work in a new format - manage and configure, and not perform actions directly.
The disappeared jobs will cover the demand for IT specialists. Many new professions will appear.

Digitalization of Urban Economy:
In Russia there is a state information system “Safe City”. This is a set of devices for monitoring and forecasting events in the city related to transport, ecology, crime. here, the data is collected by video cameras, and then processed by artificial intelligence.
The system works in conjunction with the fire service, ambulance, police, anti - terror, gas service and the emergency response system for emergencies "ERA - GLONASS".
Safe City is Already being of tested in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Astrakhan Oblast, Taganrog, Tatarstan, Novorossiysk, Sochi.

Digitalization in Construction:
In Western countries, digitalization for the construction industry is being developed according to the BIM concept - Building Information Modeling. It automates all the procedures at the construction site and allows you to design not only in 3D, but also in 5 - 7D. The system also takes into account time , money and labor. In Russia, the development of such a technology is planned for 2024.
Digitalization of Transport:
So far, the best examples here are applications with public transport maps that everyone has on their smartphone. The most impressive are unmanned subway trains, trains and taxis.
But the impact of digitalization on the industry is wider. Technologies make parking more efficient, help manage traffic jams based on big data, monitor compliance with traffic rules, and simplify control of bulky transport.
In Russia, the Digital Transport and Logistics Association is engaged in digitalization of logistics. The goal is to create a single logistics space throughout the country, where all traffic information will fall into one system.
It is assumed that the regions will receive data from cities, and the country from the regions. This means that all options for the development of transport can be calculated in one digital field and understand which city needs new infrastructure and which one, on the contrar, does not need to be built.

Security Digitalization:
On a personal level, digital security is implemented through “smart homes” that protect against fires, flooding, and the penetration of burglars.
At the public level , the main direction is order monitoring systems (installation of video surveillance cameras and face recognition). In Russia, the NTECH LAB project is working on this - their system was successfully tested at the 2018 World Cup.

Digitalization of Culture:
Technology is important for culture, leisure and tourism, because it makes them more affordable. Industry participants themselves meet them, so there are many examples.
Here are the most notable of them:
- Yandex . Afisha is a giant event search engine.
- Artefact - Augmented Reality in Russian Museums.
- Kid - Friendly - maps with comfortable routes for walking parents with children.
- AIS "Cultural region" increasing the availability of cultural leisure in the regions.
Digitalization of Science:
The issue of digitalization of science is paradoxical because science itself is the source of digital technology. In addition, this industry is closely related to education.
Scientific systematization and information exchange is supported by Research Gate and Academia services. In Russia, CyberLeninka does a similar thing, but is inferior in scale.
The Digital Development and IT Council is planning the launch of the Unified Digital Science Platform. It will be a marketplace with a wide range of services. It will help to conduct research remotely and in conditions when the technical base in a particular laboratory is not enough.

Digitalization in Politics:
As a research tool, digital technology helps analyze and model public opinion. And as an instrument of influence - to create advertising and effectively promote it to the target audience. The ability to instantly receive feedback will tell you what people need, what problems they care about.
Technologies are also needed for elections, where, in addition to counting votes, it is possible to guarantee the security of the system, the reliability of the results, and the accuracy of voter identification.
