Kolkata, April 27, 2024
Kanchrapara Workshop proudly announces the launch of its ground-breaking initiative, the “QR Code-Based POH Booklet,” in collaboration with CWM/Kanchrapara. Implemented on April 19, 2024, in Locomotive No. 30406/WAP7/GZB/NR, this pioneering system marks a significant milestone in Indian Railways.
The QR Code-Based POH Booklet is set to transform locomotive maintenance across the railway network. By encapsulating all essential information within a QR code, it streamlines processes, enhances operational efficiency, and minimizes downtime. This innovative solution, championed by Kanchrapara Workshop, exemplifies the organization’s commitment to technological advancement and service excellence.
Benefits for Citizens:

Improved Punctuality: With streamlined maintenance procedures and quicker troubleshooting capabilities, the system contributes to the punctuality of train services, enhancing the overall commuter experience.
Cost Savings: The implementation of the QR Code-Based POH Booklet results in cost savings for Indian Railways, which can be passed on to passengers through competitive ticket pricing and improved amenities.
Speaking on the launch, Goutam Dutta, PCME in august presence of Subhash Chandra, CWM/Kanchrapara along with other branch officers at Kanchrapara Workshop, expressed enthusiasm about the project’s potential to revolutionize locomotive maintenance practices. “The QR Code-Based POH Booklet represents a significant leap forward in our efforts to modernize railway operations. By harnessing the power of digital technology, we aim to enhance efficiency, reliability, and safety across the railway network,” they remarked.
Kanchrapra Workshop extends its gratitude to all stakeholders for their invaluable support in realizing this transformative initiative.
