Dear readers! We are pleased to present you the sixth issue of the LOGISTICS magazine in 2025, which contains a lot of relevant materials. In the latest issue, our permanent partner COMITAS company presents an innovative solution dictated by the shortage of warehouse space and difficulties with personnel selection – the high-rise automated self-supporting "COMITAS Warehouse".
Dear readers! The first half of the year is approaching, which means that on the pages of the fifth issue of the magazine you will find a lot of useful analytical materials on the markets of warehouse real estate, cargo transportation, etc. Our authors Yu.V. Klimenko, M.G. Grigoryan, R.N.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the fourth issue of the LOGISTICS journal. By tradition, in the April issue we summarize the results of TransRussia | SkladTech 2025. This year, the exhibition attracted a record number of exhibitors and over 30,000 visitors. Under the heading "non-economic activity", we are posting an interesting article by A.V. Efimov on the prospects for the development of non-primary non-energy exports from Russia to Vietnam.
Annotation. The article lists the main properties of the system, indicates the need to add such properties as the presence of a control element (subject) and purposefulness. The author's definitions of the logistics system in general and the state logistics system in particular are given. It is clarified that the state acts as the managing entity of the state logistics system.
Key words. System, system properties, managing entity, logistics system, state logistics system.
Annotation. The article considers the main stages of digitalization of economic processes, systematizes the stereotypes of the concept of «digital economy». Based on the analysis, new business practices are systematized. The factors that determine the complexity of digital transformation in logistics systems at all levels are identified. The task of process integration of information systems of logistics companies is formulated. The conclusion is made about the prospects of using process-oriented integration of information systems in logistics.
Annotation. The article offers a mathematical model of cargo movement along the selected section of the national logistics system, which shows how to calculate the damage caused by the impact of adverse events in the process of cargo transportation on a specific section of the chain. The model estimates the amount of cargo delay when moving along the selected route. Based on this, the damage can be calculated as a function of the value of delay in transit, and decisions can also be made to change the terms of contracts and conditions of transportation organization.
Annotation. The article discusses the main approaches and the sequence of actions in the decomposition of the structure and functions of the logistics system of a manufacturing enterprise. The features of the logistics problems of the enterprise and the proposed ways of their solution using the principles of logistics are determined.
Key words. Logistic system, analysis, synthesis, logistic function, logistic operation.
Annotation. The analysis of the significance of identification activities in the logistics system of goods movement for the sustainable development of the transport sector in the new economic conditions associated with global trends and regional features. Data on the use of identification systems for photo and video recording of traffic violations, ground passenger transport management, automated traffic management, traffic safety, road safety and diagnostics, and incident management are presented.
Annotation. The article proposes an approach to solving the problem of optimizing the regional logistics infrastructure. The proposed algorithm, considered for the particular case of the problem with single-product flows and two types of vehicles, can also be used for a multi-product model, with various types of heavy and light transport.
Key words. Infrastructure, a network of car fleets, distribution and sub-sorting warehouses, stochastic model, probabilistic demand, two-tier planning, minimum cost flow.
Annotation. Engineering, as a multidiscipline, is one of the subject areas of systems and software engineering, with the help of which a holistic approach is implemented throughout the entire life cycle of a logistics system. The digital environment creates conditions for the integration of transport and logistics processes with electronic document flow, which contributes to more efficient management methods using digital platforms, and the architectural approach makes it possible to integrate the supply chain based on the homeokinetic plateau mechanism.
Annotation. The article deals with the management of order processes in the formed and newly formed product markets. The classic version of managing the order procedure and calculating the optimal batch and type of product is considered, with the transition to solving the problem of inventory management throughout the supply chain, taking into account its configuration. The calculation of the optimal order size is presented in terms of methods and models for solving the problem of organizing deliveries in order logistics and inventory management.
Annotation. In the article the analysis of creation of a national logistics platform in the Russian market was carried out. The architecture of the logistics platform and its main components are considered. The target business model of the logistics platform is shown, as well as its limitations on the Russian market.
Key words. Business model of national logistics platform, logistics platform, platform advantages, platform limitations.
Annotation. This article describes the current global trade trends, reveals the problems and features of international multimodal transportation information exchange in the context of the digitalization of the economy, highlights the main effects of the transition to a new blockchain based information exchange system for large groups of participants in international cargo exchange participants, combined in groups according the common needs.
Key words. Digital economy, logistics, international economic activity, multimodal transportation, information systems.
