The team, which included our employee, R.V. Martyshkin, Deputy Head of the Macroeconomics and Forecasting Methodology Department, took the 1st place in the competition of youth projects. The project initiators proposed to develop an automated planning system for the release of a container to the customer with the function of selecting pick-up time slots and the subsequent transfer of this information to the reach stackers drivers. The system implementation will result in a lesser number of intra-warehouse container handling operations, possibility to process more containers with the same number of tools and higher loyalty of customers of RZD JSCo.
