Dear readers! You are holding the combined issue of the “LOGISTICS” journal, in which we have collected materials for July and August 2026. It brings together practice and theory, applied solutions and bold methodological explorations.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present you with the sixth issue of the journal for 2026, in which the theory and practice of logistics are explored in a variety of relevant areas. This issue is truly multifaceted, combining reflections on the essence of logistics processes with applied calculations and industry-specific cases.
Dear readers! This is the fifth issue of the LOGISTICS journal, dedicated to the current challenges of modern logistics.
The article gives a brief history of the appearance and development of equipment for intralogistics and outlines common approaches for selecting equipment and evaluating the effectiveness of the solution.
Key words. Intralogistics, logistics, warehouse logistics, material flows, forklift trucks, pallet, conveyer system, selection methodology.
The article considers the increase in the efficiency of cost optimization in production warehouses. As a result of the analysis of the methods of selecting orders at retail warehouses, a technology was developed for storing, placing and selecting orders. In case of a research of methods of solving the traveling salesman problem, the optimal one was found and applied to the solution of the optimization problem.
The article describes an algorithm for optimal selection of free gate and the area of the loading and unloading of cargo transport, taking into account the criteria for effective and efficient management of the combined area of handling a large distribution center.
Key words. WMS, YMS, the algorithm for the optimal management of warehouse resources.
The article presents ways of calculating the storage capacity. Their advantage is simplicity of input and the ease of calculations. In addition, the article provides correlation of the technological areas of the warehouse and the concept of "warehouse space" and its components.
Key words. Warehouse, storage capacity, warehouse space, turnover.
With respect to alcoholic products, the conveyor method of assembling orders from a dealer for retail stores is considered. It is based on the movement of the forklift along the ends of rows of racks, on which the collector responsible for it places a part of the customer order from each row. By calculation it is shown that the labor of the collector moving only along one row during the conveyor assembly of the order is ten times less than the labor costs under the existing method, when the collector moves with the forklift across the entire warehouse.
