The goal of the work. The purpose of this work is to describe the optimality criteria for determining the direction of solving the problem of optimizing transport and technological routes of grain products at the elevator complex.
Research methods. An analytical research method was applied to determine the technological characteristics of the elevator complex line and the dependence of the quality of transported products on the constructed transportation route. A mathematical method is applied to describe the constituent elements of the optimization criteria.
Obtained results. One of the directions for increasing and improving the technological process at the elevator was determined, by improving the control algorithms in the direction of optimizing the technological processes of the elevator according to many criteria. According to optimization criteria, to ensure optimal transportation conditions, minimum losses, minimum transportation time, minimum energy consumption, and minimum length of the laid transportation path should be used, therefore, a description of the main criteria that can primarily affect the efficiency of the elevator complex was performed.
Scientific news. The direction of solving the problem of optimization of transport and technological routes is determined. Analytical derivation of the minimum energy consumption criterion and the minimum grain fight criterion.
Practical value. Optimization of the elevator complex to ensure variable transportation of grain masses, which will affect the productivity and quality of the technological process of the elevator complex.
