How does IRCTC use AI to spot insects as small as 7-8 mm in railway food?
short by Garima Garg / on Thursday, 4 June, 2026
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) uses an AI-powered monitoring system connected to 2,394 HD cameras across over 800 railway kitchens. These cameras can detect insects as small as 7-8 mm and monitor hygiene practices, including the use of hairnets and transparent gloves. Any violation triggers an alert, and a message is sent to the concerned kitchen manager.
