IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF CONTAINER RECYCLING AT CONTAINER DISTRIBUTION STATION

Abstract

The article discusses the key aspects of improving the efficiency of container processing at container distribution stations (CRS) in the context of growing container traffic and digitalization of logistics processes. New-generation container stations are becoming the most important elements of the end-to-end logistics chain, ensuring the redistribution, redirection and formation of container trains along their destinations without the need for intermediate warehousing and manual control of trains. The purpose of the research is to develop and substantiate organizational and technological solutions aimed at increasing productivity, reducing processing time and increasing the turnover of rolling stock in cattle. The best practices of platform management using the principle of depersonalization of rolling stock are analyzed, as well as the integration of the container recycling system with digital logistics platforms. Special attention is paid to the issues of dispatching, the use of AI/ML for forecasting container flows and balancing the load on processing facilities. The results obtained can be used in the development of projects for the modernization of the transport infrastructure of Russian Railways and the formation of a single space for new-generation container logistics.
