CMS manages the attendance and working of the close to one lakh drivers and guards of the Indian Railways. CMS plays a very important role in issues such as timely running of trains, safety and security of passengers and in controlling overall working expenditure of Railways. It is indeed a mammoth task.

Thinvent has been deeply associated with the CMS project since its inception, and has provided the following technology solutions:

  • A rugged and hassle-free thin client platform to help CMS reach its target audience.
  • Kiosks that allow computer-illiterate drivers to sign-on for duty and receive their duty roster.
  • Desktops that include the latest office productivity software, bundled with the OS image.
  • Centralised monitoring and management, that allows a single operator in Delhi to manage all the 1,500+ CMS clients with ease.
  • Biometric authentication on the kiosks, which provides quick authentication of the 1,00,000+ users.
  • Integration and automation of breath alcohol meters, which checks drivers for alcohol abuse before and after duty.
  • Replication of the entire J2EE stack on the client side, and constant synchronisation of the database, permitting the kiosks and desktops to work even when connectivity is lost.
  • Server load balancing and failover.
  • SMS transmission and receipt using GSM modem and SMSC gateway.
