Indian Railways on Fast Track with Welding Industry 4.0 - Application of Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explain about application of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in welding of Indian Railways. The introduction of welding technology has also been followed by the countrys economic growth. Indian Railways has long been the single most significant infrastructure entity in India, with the railway track network expanding for many years. The new manufacturing sector is speeding the transition to digital and intelligent manufacturing, with the ongoing growth and maturity of cloud computing, big data, IoT and other innovations. Welding methods are also one of the fields where AI is tested and used early, with the help of information technology. Train maintenance and repair is usually carried out in demanding working conditions and frequently under demand from time. In such high demand and dynamic activities, it helps to decrease human error. In the welding of rail tracks and machine parts, IoT and AI will certainly offer many advantages in less time and with greater accuracy and precision. It will allow the Indian Railways to become more profitable and effective.
