PROBLEM: INDIAN RAIL OPERATIONS39% DELAYED
PROBLEM: FUEL AND OPERATIONSINDIAN RAILWAYS
More than 10 train collisions per year
Solfice can prevent train collisions through our anti-collision system
Spends $5.4 billion USD on diesel and $1.7 billion USD on electrical power per year
Solfice can potentially reduce this expenditure by 10% using our fueloptimization system

SERVICE: FUEL CONSUMPTIONDIESEL VS ELECTRIC
Electric locomotives have an outdated DDU based on DOS
Solfice produced intelligent driver displayunits for 3-phase electric locomotives
Diesel locomotives have analog components and no DDUs
Solfice is expanding to diesel locomotives byconverting analog signals to digital
