What is the role of CAMTECH Gwalior in this project
The Centre for Advanced Maintenance Technology (CAMTECH) in Gwalior is the main body handling these upgrades. Established in 1987-88, this institute works on improving the reliability and efficiency of railway assets. They are now focusing on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) to make train examinations faster and more accurate.
How will this change engine repairs in the region
Currently, a large part of the maintenance work is handled by the Railway Coach Repair Workshop in Jhansi. With the new high-tech setup in Gwalior, engine repairs will happen locally. This will save time and improve the overall performance of rolling stock. The goal is to integrate machine vision technology by 2032-20 to reduce manual examination time.
