Northeast Frontier Railway Unveils Advanced Water Level Monitoring System

Northeast Frontier Railway introduces a cutting-edge Water Level Monitoring System on the Brahmaputra Mail Express to enhance water management and passenger convenience. Using AI and IoT, this system ensures continuous water availability, showcasing NFR's commitment to modernizing train operations.

Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has taken a significant step towards enhancing both safety and passenger convenience by integrating modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence and IoT-based devices. On Friday, August 16, an advanced Water Level Monitoring System was inaugurated on the Brahmaputra Mail Express at Kamakhya Railway Station by General Manager Chetan Kumar Shrivastava.

This innovative system aims to improve water management on long-distance trains, ensuring continuous and reliable water availability for passengers. Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, CPRO of NFR, said that the Water Level Indicator has been installed as a pilot project on one rake of the Brahmaputra Mail Express.

'This advanced solution offers continuous and accurate monitoring of water levels in the train's water tanks. It uses LoRa and GPRS-based communication for long-range, low-power data transmission, ideal for remote locations. The system also features programmable data logging with a Hydrostatic Pressure Sensor for precise water level measurement and a built-in Real-Time Clock for accurate time stamps,' Sharma added. He highlighted that this reflects NFR's dedication to improving the travel experience through technology.

'By ensuring round-the-clock water availability, the Water Level Indicator will help maintain high service standards on long-distance routes. The successful implementation of such a pilot could lead to broader applications across other trains, significantly enhancing water management efficiency. Passengers on the Brahmaputra Mail Express can now enjoy a more comfortable journey with reliable water supply,' Sharma concluded. (ANI)
