MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621042885 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on April 3, for 'apparatus for real-time shelf inventory monitoring and product positioning verification using optical sensor arrays.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Prashant Jain; Prof. O. P. Karada; Dr. Kuntal Barua; Prathvindra Singh Gaur; and Arman Guleria.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to real-time shelf inventory monitoring and product positioning verification. The apparatus (100) includes a plurality of weight sensors (102) arranged in an array, a plurality of optical reflectance sensors (104) each positioned adjacent to a corresponding weight sensor (102), a processor (106), and a wireless communication transceiver (108). The processor (106) quantizes weight measurement signals from the weight sensors (102) to determine discrete product count values at each sensing zone. Upon confirmation of a weight change event, the processor (106) activates acquisition of optical reflectance signals from the optical reflectance sensors (104) and compares those signals against predetermined optical signature parameters to identify product types. The processor (106) generates and transmits event notification data corresponding to product pick events, product place events, stock-low conditions, and planogram violation events to a remote receiver (112) via the wireless communication transceiver (108)."
