Logistics automation is the use of computer software or automated mechanisms to improve the efficiency of logistics operations. Automation typically applies to warehouse operations, supply chain management systems, and enterprise planning systems. It should be considered that the automation of transport logistics, the programs that implement it, allow to calculate the load loss, to control the balance, to calculate the consumption of vehicles and fuel, and to compare the results with the established standards. Software products that automate transportation companies allow you to analyze the efficiency of operations in the enterprise by identifying points where the enterprise's traffic lags behind other areas. Nowadays, new innovative ways of automating logistics operations are being sought and selected.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is one of the modern technologies in transportation and warehouse logistics. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) - electronic document management, information exchange between supplier and buyer, is considered the most important technology used by companies in modern warehousing. EDI technology allows the exchange of necessary documents between two computer systems using a common data format. Information exchange technology is commonly used to transfer and exchange five types of documents. The first type includes the order(s) received from the customer to the supplier, the list of goods to be shipped, the names, quantities, products, and other necessary information to ship the goods. Based on this document, the following is created - a response to the order confirming the real possibility of sending the goods, notifying the orderer that the necessary goods will be sent. The next document is the shipping notification generated when the button is clicked, which reports that the shipment has been loaded (desadv). The delivery note contains the invoice number. Then, after the goods have been shipped, brought to the customer and accepted, the next document is created - a check (receipt (recadv)) showing the list of goods actually received. Based on this document, the final document that completes the transaction is created - the universal transfer document UTD. This document is a universal transfer document that is legally binding upon electronic signature. After that, delivery transactions in the EDI chain are considered closed. EDI is often integrated into an efficient warehouse management system (WMS - Warehouse Management System). The main benefit of electronic data interchange is the smooth and transparent flow of data between two or more computer systems. Another example of innovation in the field of warehouse logistics is the use of drones, which refused to be part of fantasy novels and became reality. Companies are striving to increase the level of automation, so drones have started to appear in warehouses in different countries. One of the main functions of drones is to scan barcodes and thus save many hours of human labor. This is especially true when warehouses use multiple layers of racks, where human access to barcodes is limited. As a result, lifting mechanisms have to be used and a large number of workers have to be employed. Studies have shown that manual scanning and using a crew of 90 people equipped with forklifts cut the time spent on the job by two-and-a-half times. UVL Robotics drones are one of the most successful drones used to monitor and count pallets of goods, allowing employees to use their time more efficiently. Drones perform this task several times faster than humans: in 10-12 hours, machines can count 30-40 thousand pallets. The drone is usually equipped with two video cameras that inspect both sides of the warehouse row at the same time. In this case, the scanner is performed without standing in front of each pallet, without detecting any interruptions. Generates a report of all data. It only takes the operator a minute to replace the drone's battery. The drone is not controlled by a human - drone flight is carried out using special machine vision sensors that ensure safety in the warehouse: the system has algorithms that allow the drone to see obstacles and make decisions about further flight, but in any case, the drone is not allowed to approach the goods closer than 15 cm. does not, so all warehouse equipment and goods are completely safe.
