A study explored an approach to the automated retooling of a vertical drilling unit machine based on modular design and digital technologies. A fragment of an automated system was developed, integrating parametrized 3D models of the machine with a database of standardized units. This allows for the automatic selection of optimal equipment configuration when parameters of the technological system change. The possibility of modifying the machine's cutting units when the product manufacturing process changes was noted. The implementation of this prospective system will reduce the retooling time of the unit machine while maintaining stable processing quality. Development prospects are associated with the integration of artificial intelligence technologies and the Industrial Internet of Things for further process automation.
