Mumbai Metro Installs AI-Based Wheel Repair System
The Mumbai Metro has installed a new AI-based system called AWPMS to check the condition of train wheels.
This system uses lasers and cameras to measure the wheels and suggest when they need repair or replacement.
It was made by a company called IntelliRail and is part of a bigger plan to make the metro safer and more efficient.
The system is very accurate and can send alerts if a wheel is not in good condition.
It is a big step towards using more technology in train maintenance and reducing the need for human workers.
Mumbai Metro has installed an AI-based Wheel Profile Measurement System (AWPMS) to monitor and maintain train wheels.
The system uses lasers, cameras, and machine vision to provide accurate data on wheel parameters.
AWPMS is designed to extend wheel life, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety by suggesting proactive repairs or replacements.
The system was installed at the Charkop depot for line 2A and 7 of the Mumbai Metro, with guidance from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
IntelliRail, the manufacturer, highlights the benefits of the system, including no-contact measurement, high accuracy, and real-time alerts for out-of-range parameters.
