The use of digital technologies in disposal of agricultural equipment

The article presents the results of research and analytical reviews to determine the possibilities of using digital technologies in the disposal of decommissioned agricultural equipment. (Aim of the study) The rationale for the use of digital technology in the formation of a resource-saving eco-friendly system for the disposal of agricultural machinery. (Materials and methods) Until recently, technical support for equipment manufacturers ended with the operation phase. The requirements of regulatory documents on the need to dispose of decommissioned equipment in design, operational and repair regulatory documents were purely declarative in nature and have not been (and are not yet implemented in Russia) by its manufacturers. (Research results and discussion) The use of CALS (IPI) — technologies for the formation of a system for utilization of agricultural machinery will create a common database that will be based on the fi nal state of parts and their variable properties. Also, their application will make it possible to provide logistic support for all components of the material fl ows of equipment throughout the life cycle. In addition, the use of common software aimed at performing these functions will create the necessary conditions for the operation and maintenance of the functionality of the system. (Conclusions) The most optimal option is to create VET utilization systems taking into account the national peculiarities of Russia on the basis of existing foreign developments both for creating operational and repair documents in digital format, and for developing technologies for utilization of equipment that take into account the requirements of resource conservation and the environment.
