Strategies for the modernization of locomotive depots and the introduction of digital technologies: optimization of repair processes based on operating data

Анотація

The article is dedicated to the analysis of modernization strategies for locomotive depots through the implementation of digital technologies as a key factor in enhancing the efficiency of railway transport. The aim of the research is to systematize approaches to the digitalization of maintenance processes and to substantiate their impact on the operational efficiency of depots. The study employs general scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, systematization, and a structural-functional approach. The results of the research demonstrate that the implementation of maintenance management systems (CMMS) and ERP ensures automation of technical condition control for locomotives, reduces repair cycle times by 18-30%, and minimizes operational errors by 25-40%. It is proven that the use of artificial intelligence algorithms for optimizing spare parts inventory management can reduce logistics costs by 12-25% through accurate forecasting of depot needs and preventing excess stocking. The study shows that the standardization of maintenance procedures according to international UIC and EN norms improves the quality of technical service, ensures reproducibility of processes, and facilitates the integration of the national railway network into the European transport space. It has been established that the digitalization of depots transforms labor organization, enhances the transparency of processes, improves inter-service interaction, and ensures the accuracy of operational planning. The practical value of the research lies in the potential application of generalized modernization strategies to increase the reliability of the locomotive fleet and the efficiency of railway infrastructure operation in the context of the digital transformation of the transport sector.
