Development of warehouse logistics at the present stage

Using the examples from foreign practice the article considers the present stage of development of ware-house logistics based on the concept of digitalization and automation of logistics and transport. A practical solution to the problems of logistics development is implemented through real projects, the introduction of the latest technologies, the construction of new facilities and the modernization of existing ones, the use of innovative handling, storage and process equipment, as well as new software products and digital systems. Technical solutions in engineering and construction projects of the new general cargo warehouses and logistics centers are discussed.Much attention is paid to IT systems in warehouse logistics, which made it possible to implement a number of innovative solutions in digitalization and automation abroad. Without technology and IT systems, effective internal logistics, service, technical support for handling and storage equipment are impossible today. Therefore, lifecycle management and preventive maintenance require smart tools.Examples of the new types of handling and storage equipment are given, which control transport & storage and loading & unloading operations. The creation and practical application of new types of handling and storage equipment actively supports the implementation of common goals for the development of warehouse logistics.
