IoT-based water level indicators are revolutionizing how onboard water management is handled in Indian Railways. By integrating sensors and wireless connectivity, these systems provide real-time monitoring of water levels in LHB coach tanks, helping prevent water shortages, reducing complaints, and ensuring timely refilling at designated watering stations. These smart systems support digital reporting, operational planning, and enhance passenger experience.
These intelligent systems use ultrasonic or float sensors connected to microcontrollers, which send data to cloud platforms or mobile devices accessible by railway officials. This automation reduces manual checks, improves resource planning, and aligns with the Ministry of Railways' goals for digital transformation and improved onboard services.
