The innovative machine screens the human body temperature of the passengers, whether they are wearing masks, scans ID proof as well as the PNR of the ticket besides ensuring social distancing of passengers and railway staff.

A bar code scanner will scan QR code of IRCTC based train tickets, a temperature scanner will measure body temperature while entering the station and a camera which will check if a passenger is masked or not.
