Kazakhstan Railways.
The automated logistics system, which commenced operational
testing on May 22, is running along the high-traffic No. 9/10 train
route connecting the Nurly Zhol, Karaganda, and Almaty-2 rail
terminals.
The digital platform plans to structurally eliminate processing
redundancies and human error by establishing a unified lifecycle
for checked luggage and commercial freight. The architecture
supports both station-operator interfaces and automated
self-service checking modules running on specialized Warehouse
Management System (WMS) protocols.
Developed under a dual-education partnership with Astana IT
University, the technology plans to transition the country’s legacy
rail freight tracking into a transparent, paperless tracking
pipeline, setting up technical frameworks for automated cargo
processing across all regional stations in the medium term.
