Once implemented, any electro-mechanical failures across the rail-network will be detected by the Building Automation System and instantly the breakdown maintenance work orders will be generated and assigned to the technicians who will receive SMS/Email alerts enabling them to attend to the problems quickly. In case the technical doesn't acknowledge/respond, the Service Level Agreement (SLA) management kicks-in to raise multi-level escalations ensuring that the maintenance issues are fixed quickly for smooth functioning of the Railway Network.
