NFR Launches AI System to Inspect Wagon Doors and Seals

Northeast Frontier Railway and IIT Guwahati have created a new system called Project DRISHTI.

It uses cameras, special lights, computer networks and artificial intelligence.

The system checks freight wagons as trains pass selected monitoring points.

It looks at wagon numbers, doors, locks and seals.

This can show whether a wagon is properly closed and sealed.

It may also help workers notice possible problems or cargo pilferage.

Earlier, workers checked these things manually, which could take time and be difficult at night or in bad weather.

The new system can save inspection time and create digital records.

Railway officials hope it will make freight transport safer and lead to more joint projects with IIT Guwahati.
