Digital Assets as a Tool for Intelligent Industrial Production

Relevance. Intelligent industrial production involves not only the introduction of digital technologies, but also the active use of digital assets obtained with their application, which requires the study of their functionality as a toolkit for a single digital industrial space. The purpose of the article is to identify digital assets, classify them, determine their functionality and application prospects for the intellectualization of industry. Methods. The methods of analysis of the regulatory framework, classification, systematization, comparative analysis, tabular and graphical visualization of data were used as research methods. Results. Digital assets are proposed to be considered as a toolkit for “smart” production, taking into account legal, technological and economic aspects. The issues of identification and classification of digital assets are considered, which are divided into financial (digital financial assets, digital currency) and non-financial digital assets (digital data, utilitarian digital rights, digital intellectual assets). Their distinctive characteristics, advantages and prospects of application by Russian industrial companies for the intellectualization of production are determined.
