L&T Infotech has won two ERP projects for computerising the maintenance of rolling assets of the Indian Railways. The System Integration (SI) projects were conceptualised and tendered by Center for Railway Information System (CRIS), the IT arm of Indian Railways.
Under these projects, L&T Infotech will deploy its enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and the underlying hardware for automating the maintenance of the two major rolling assets of the railways, the wagon fleet and diesel locomotives.
According to L&T Infotech, the execution of these projects will involve creation of two centralised ERP-based applications, the freight maintenance management for management of freight/ wagon depots; and loco-shed management system for management of diesel locomotive sheds.
The projects include installation and commissioning; and multi-year ongoing support of hardware and systems in the implementation. The work involves establishing central data centre infrastructure; providing LAN at three sheds; and supply, installation and commissioning of hardware and networking equipment, the company said.
L&T Infotech will also be installing servers, network equipment, close circuit camera systems, touch screens and RFID-based kiosks for user interface for the employees. In addition, a portal-based custom-built application module for providing specified functionalities to users will also be provided.
Sudip Banerjee, CEO of L&T Infotech, said: “We are happy to be associated with these two projects which are of critical importance to Indian Railways. These breakthrough System Integration projects reaffirm L&T Infotech’s position of preeminence when it comes to execution of large complex projects.”
