MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001658 A) filed by Nims University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Jan. 7, for 'smart blood bank with autonomous storage and retrieval.'
Inventor(s) include Vivek Kumar; and Anjali Goswami.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An automated blood banking system (100) and method (200) for end-to-end management of blood components with enhanced safety, traceability, and cold-chain integrity. The system includes a robotic receiving station (101) for autonomous intake, an integrated identification module (102) with synchronized barcode/RFID verification, and an automated quality control module (103) for optical, turbidity, and mass-based assessment. Compliant units are classified by an automated sorting unit (104) and stored using an intelligent robotic storage and retrieval module (105) operating within temperature-controlled chambers. A dynamic storage allocation module (106) optimizes placement using demand, FEFO criteria, and thermal data, while a central control unit (107) coordinates all operations. Inventory management software (108) maintains real-time tracking through a tamper-evident log, and an integrated alarm and notification system (109) provides multi-tier anomaly detection. The method (200) orchestrates intake, identity verification, quality assessment, sorting, placement, monitoring, retrieval, and safety-driven alert handling."
