During the development of modern information and communication technologies, 
humanity is facing global challenges. During this period, the transition to a new 
qualitative stage in all areas of economy and governance, science and security is taking 
place. Through digital technology, changes in the social, political and economic

spheres have a long-term outlook as well as. It should be noted that the transformation 
of digital economy can not be overlooked, which country will not be able to adapt will 
be crushed in further and developing open economy: healthy competition, business 
environment and economic security of country. 
In February 7, 2017 by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan 
Shavkat Mirziyoev “The strategy of further development o
f the Republic of Uzbekistan 
in 2017-
2021” has been adopted.
The strategy includes five priory directions, one of them “The development and 
liberalization of the economy”, which is directed to further strengthening the 
macroeconomic stability and the maintenance of high economic growth, increasing its 
competitiveness, modernization and intensive development of agriculture, continuation 
of institutional and structural reforms to reduce the state presence in the economy, 
further strengthening the protection of rights and priority role private property, 
encourage the development of small business and private entrepreneurship, 
comprehensive and balanced socio-economic development of regions and 
municipalities, active attraction of foreign investments in the sectors of the economy 
and regions of the country by improving the investment climate.

The Strategy is to be implemented in five stages, each of which provides for 
approval of a separate annual State program in accordance with a declared name of the 
year. The President declared 2020 as the Year of Development of Science, Education 
and the Digital Economy in his Address to the Oliy Majlis.
Also President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in his Address made a special emphasis on 
the importance of scientific and technologica
l development. “To be sure, we all well 
understand that the formation of a digital economy will require appropriate 
infrastructure, immense resources and specialists. Yet, no matter how tricky it is, we 
must begin this work today, not tomorrow. Therefore, accelerated transition to digital 
economy will come to be our priority for the next five years”.

Now, processes are digitized. Designs are completed in 3D CAD files, digital 
twins exist to mirror the objects they're building and everything connected via the 
internet of things. Drawings aren't handed down to the shop floors in books - rather, 
they're being sent to tablets built specifically for that purpose. 
Today, we're going to look at how digitization is transforming manufacturing, and 
what it means for the businesses in the industry. The digital age has impacted every 
industry, and for the manufacturing sector, in particular, this digital revolution has been 
labelled ‘Industry 4.0’. Starting with the industry 4.0 definition, we analyse the benefits 
that digitisation introduces to enterprises in logistics, supply chain, automotive, and 
beyond. 
The term “Industry 4.0”, however, is yet not very common outside of german 
speaking countries and Scandinavia. Scientists and companies in the U.S. and in Asia 
may b
e concerned with similar issues, but the “Industrial Internet of Things” takes a

much broader approach than merely the digitalization of products, manufacturing 
facilities or machines. Whereas in Germany Industry 4.0 or Logistics 4.0 are often 
targets themselves, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Services (IoS) are 
considered in many parts of the world as a means of achieving certain goals which may 
be of economic or political nature or concerning labor law.
