All records of inspections conducted by the Indian Railways will be maintained online through an app exclusively developed for the purpose, the “E-inspection App”. The app will keep online records of all the inspection activities, especially those pertaining to safety and passenger amenities. These include track inspections, running-room inspections, station inspections, train inspections, coaching stock inspections etc. This will remove the many shortcomings in the manual way of inspection reporting and record keeping.
The app can be installed by all the stakeholders concerned on their mobile phones or computers. It will ensure a speedy reporting and help send instant alerts to the field via text messages or e-mail for timely corrective measures. The other advantages of the app include real-time tracking, data mining, analytics, transparency and ensuring the availability of data across organisations.
The app will have an in-built software, which will generate various graphs and analytical data automatically. It will also have an option of reporting a matter through actual photographs taken at the time of inspection. The app has been formally launched in the Delhi Division and will be extended all over India in a month’s time.
