The article examines the innovative potential of Industry 4.0 technologies in the context of transforming mechanisms of economic coordination. Particular attention is paid to how digitalization, robotization, the Internet of Things, digital twins, predictive analytics, and machine learning change the possibilities of managing production processes. Based on the Marxist approach, the article analyzes the contradiction between the increasing complexity of modern production systems and the market-based form of their regulation. The conclusion is drawn that the development of digital technologies creates the material and technical prerequisites for a transition from spontaneous market coordination to more rational, dynamic, and scientifically grounded economic planning.
