The provided FNR status and consignment information is processed through the Freight Operations Information System (FOIS), which tracks and monitors the movement of wagons, locomotives, and unit trains.
FOIS is a complete management module for freight trains, handling billing and revenue collections. It plays a major role in improving wagon productivity on Indian Railways and aims to further enhance productivity and customer service to meet the needs of a rapidly growing economy.
About Indian Railways Freight
The Indian Railways carries nearly 1500 million tonnes of freight in a year, which translates to about 6000 freight trains daily. Freight trains bring two-thirds of the Indian Railway revenues and are referred to as the bread earners for the Railways. The major commodities carried are Coal, Iron Ore, Foodgrains, Iron & Steel, Cement, Petroleum products, Fertilizer and Containerized Traffic. There are specialized wagons to handle the transportation needs of the different types of commodities.
Unlike passenger trains, freight trains do not run to a fixed schedule, making freight operations a highly information-intensive activity. Based on this information, managers make allocation decisions continually to dynamically optimize the utilization of resources like wagons, locomotives, crew, and paths on the network. Real-time information allows for good decision-making and ensures high levels of mobility within the system.
