Overview
- A technical presentation on 6 November at N.F. Railway Headquarters in Maligaon highlighted DRISHTI, an AI-based locking monitoring system for goods wagons.
- IIT Guwahati’s TIDF team demonstrated a prototype that has been under trial on selected wagons for roughly ten months.
- Preliminary trial data reported by NFR shows encouraging accuracy, supporting continued development toward broader deployment.
- The system mounts AI-powered cameras and sensors to read door positions in real time, detect tampering during transit, and issue automated alerts.
- The initiative seeks to reduce manual door checks, reinforce wagon sealing integrity, and evaluate scalability across the NFR network under a 2024 MoU.
