The article provides information on development and implementation of the system of identification and automated accounting of cotton lint bales in accordance with the world standards PBI (Permanent Bale Identification). Implementation of this system allows to form and dispatch homogeneous lots of cotton lint in terms of quality (grade, class, type, etc.) on the basis of quality parameters determined for each bale on instrumental systems SCITC (HVI). In contrast to the existing system, cotton lint lots of uniform quality are formed at wagon or container volumes at cotton terminals. The device (console) of permanent identification, as well as software for identification, accounting and sorting of cotton lint bales have been developed within the framework of realized project.
