Vitaliy Potapov, CEO of LOGOPER LLC, spoke at the foresight conference From 2013-2023 to 2024-2030 organised by the Infrastructure economic centre

During the panel discussion Digital Transformation of Logistics and Infrastructure under Constraints, the conference participants discussed ways to improve the efficiency of the transport process, as well as the introduction of new technologies in logistics, including continuous interaction between shipper, carrier and infrastructure owners on a single platform.

Main theses from Vitaliy's speech:

Improving the accuracy of forecasts and the quality of transport, especially delivery times, is an important factor in container rail transportations.

Russian Railways is successfully implementing tools to improve this indicator: double container trains, virtual coupling, and a dynamic model of infrastructure extent.

To improve the efficiency of the entire multimodal container transportation, it is important to develop and optimise not only the mainline infrastructure, but also to build modern terminal and logistics centres, originally engineered to work with full container trains.
