Divya Delhi : Indian Railways has initiated an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based stain detection pilot project aimed at improving the quality and hygiene standards of washed linen supplied to passengers. Under the initiative, AI technology will be used to identify stains and defects in washed linen through automated inspection systems. The technology is expected to help railway laundry facilities maintain better quality control and reduce the chances of stained or improperly cleaned linen being issued to passengers. Railway officials said the project is part of the organisation’s efforts to adopt modern technologies and improve passenger experience. The AI-based system will assist staff by providing faster and more accurate inspection compared to traditional manual checking methods. The initiative focuses on improving cleanliness standards in railway services, where millions of passengers use linen facilities every day on long-distance trains. Officials believe that the technology will help ensure greater consistency in laundry operations and enhance passenger satisfaction. Indian Railways has been introducing several technology-driven measures, including digital monitoring systems, automation, and AI-based solutions, to improve operational efficiency and service quality. If successful, the pilot project may be expanded to more railway laundry units across the country. The move reflects Indian Railways’ continued focus on innovation, hygiene, and the use of advanced technologies to provide improved facilities for passengers.
