Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Orient Metal (“Steel Property Construction LLC”), a member of Orient Group, presented a sample fitting platform designed for transportation of 20- and 40-foot rail containers.
The company plans, at the first stage, to set up production capacity of up to 200 railcars per year in the Yashnabad district of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The types of steel used in the production of the platform are 09G2S 14th grade, 10HSND and 38XS.
"We decided to expand our production activities because we see quite high demand from major customers. For example, "Uzbekistan Railways" has a demand of up to 200 units per year. In addition, partners from the EU and CIS, as well as UzAuto Motors, a Chevrolet car production plant in Uzbekistan, became interested in the project," commented Dilshod Shukurov, managing director of the metallurgy business dimension of the group.
Technical characteristics of fitting platform allow loading two 40-foot or four 20-foot containers on one car at once. Platform prototypes will undergo mileage tests in July-August. Completion of preliminary acceptance and certification tests, as well as obtaining the certificate is planned for the third quarter of 2022. Reaching the declared capacity is planned by the fourth quarter of 2022.
