Smart Water Level Monitoring for Railway Coaches
The IoT-Based Water Level Monitoring System (VEBLINE-LC) is an advanced, automated solution designed to continuously monitor water levels in both Overhead and Under-Slung Water Tanks of LHB and ICF railway coaches. Built for harsh railway environments, the system provides real-time monitoring, intelligent alerts, and remote data access, helping railway operators optimize water management and prevent unnecessary water loss.
Engineered with industrial-grade components and IoT connectivity, the system enables maintenance teams to track tank levels from anywhere through SMS, mobile devices, servers, or PC-based software.
