PROMISING AREAS OF DIGITALIZATION IN THE TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

Abstract

In the agro-industrial complex, it is possible to reduce operating costs by improving the organization and technology of maintenance and repair of machines, including using digital solutions. (Research purpose) The research purpose is identifying the promising areas for the development of digital technologies and the possibilities of their application in the maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery. (Materials and methods) Used open information sources and Internet resources of specialized Russian scientific and educational organizations and industrial companies, as well as materials of various annual exhibitions, including international ones; electronic information resources in the form of databases that are created and maintained at Rosinformagrotech (Results and discussion) It was determined that such digital solutions as «smart spare parts warehouse», «smart oil storage» are used in repair and maintenance production. It was established that the promising areas of the use of digital technologies include digital enterprise management systems, intelligent systems for diagnosing machines, robotic systems. One of the most dynamically developing areas of «digital» production in the world is the use of additive technologies that can be used in the manufacture of spare parts and the restoration of parts, including for imported machinery. In recent years, the trend of digitalization development in various industries, including the agro-industrial complex, has been the use of «digital» doubles. (Conclusions) In the field of maintenance and repair, intelligent systems for diagnosing machines, «digital» doubles, 3D scanning and reverse engineering of parts, 3D printing of spare parts and additive technologies for repairing parts will be in demand.
