By analysing the data provided, the software accurately predicts the probable date when flange or root wear will exceed prescribed limits, allowing for timely maintenance interventions,” Kaushik Mitra.He informed that through precise monitoring and predictive analytics, the software contributes towards extending the lifespan of locomotive wheels, ultimately reducing maintenance costs and enhancing operational efficiency.&nbsp;“The software can forecast the probable date when wheels will reach condemnation limits, enabling preemptive actions to be taken,” he said.Mitra added that by aggregating data across different locomotives, the software facilitates the derivation of average wheel life, aiding in strategic decision-making and resource allocation.&nbsp;“The software can also accurately determine the number of locomotives requiring wheel replacement in the near future due to low wheel diameter, enabling proactive maintenance planning,” he said.&nbsp;According to a senior railway official in New Delhi, the integration of AI-driven solutions by ER will not only ensure the safety of passengers and personnel but will also optimise operations for enhanced reliability and efficiency.(This story was taken from a syndicated feed, and edited only for style by Gujarat Samachar Digital staff)Also read:<a href="https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/gujarat/bsf-jawan-robbed-at-ahmedabads-kalupur-railway-station" target="_blank">BSF jawan robbed at Ahmedabad’s Kalupur Railway Station</a> <a href="https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/science-technology/86-of-executives-globally-have-already-deployed-ai-to-enhance-revenue-report" target="_blank">86% of executives globally have already deployed AI to enhance revenue: Report</a>
