Abstract
In the context of the rapid development of digital technologies and increasing demands on energy efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of industrial enterprises, the fuel and energy (FEC) and mineral resources (MR) complexes are undergoing major changes. Digital transformation is becoming a key factor in improving the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of production processes, as well as an important element of the strategy for technological sovereignty and the modernization of production systems. Modern approaches to managing equipment and process chains are based on the use of machine learning methods, big data analysis, digital modeling, and the creation of digital twins, which, in turn, allows not only the optimization of technological and business processes, but also the formation of new control architectures from local systems to industrial metauniverses.
