PROJECT FOR TRACKING RAILWAY CLEANING STAFF

eSSL’s handheld device (PT100) was used in tracking and managing cleaning stuff to ensure scheduled work carried out without any hassle.
Customer: Mumbai Railway Department
Challenges: Trains need to be cleaned and serviced to maintain hygiene. Cleanliness and sanitation at trains coaches and toilets were not properly maintained. The housekeeping staff for cleaning of coaches was not satisfactory and sometimes they skip their job. Lack of efficient control on monitoring the cleaning staff had adversely affected maintenance of sanitation and hygiene on trains. The deficiencies in maintaining cleanliness at stations and in trains and to take care of unscheduled demand of cleaning by passengers in running trains, led Mumbai division of Central Railway keep a tap on its housekeeping staff and cleanliness on a running train during morning and during evening slots.
eSSL’s Solution: eSSL deployed RFID based tracking system in order to ensure cleaning on scheduled time. It has already been started on train no. 12133/12134 Mumbai-Mangalore Express, 12137/12138 Mumbai-Ferozpur Punjab Mail, 12163/12164 Dadar-Chennai Egmore Express and 11019/11020 Mumbai-Bhubanes
The RFID tags are fixed at each compartment in the passenger’s sitting area itself near mirrors, which will ensure the visible presence of housekeeper to the travelling passengers. The user’s process is very simple- they have created route for each employee defining the every checkpoint at each coach wall near to Mirror and after carrying out every scheduled morning/evening cleaning, the housekeeper will have to sense-read the fixed RFID tag of the compartment using a portable electronic handheld device (PT100) which will record the sensing time of tag. On completion of trip of train, the report of the data downloaded from the handheld device will confirm if each of the compartments was attended twice a day for scheduled cleaning.
hwar Konark Express. Soon, this solution will be adopted by other units of Indian Railways for their trains.
