MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541112454 A) filed by Dr. Subasree S; Prabhat Bhunya G; Rithik Kannaa K; and Sanjayan V, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 17, 2025, for 'smart logistics monitoring system for returnable asset tracking.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Subasree S; Prabhat Bhunya G; Rithik Kannaa K; and Sanjayan V.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Smart Logistics Monitoring System is an advanced, centralized, and insightful platform designed to solve a critical operational challenge: the tracking and lifecycle management of returnable delivery boxes. By combining unique digital identification with a real-time analytics dashboard, this project directly tackles costly problems like container loss, unmanaged wear and tear, and inefficient, error-prone manual tracking. At the system's core, a unique digital identifier (such as a QR code or RFID tag) is assigned to each box, transforming it into a fully traceable digital asset. The system's modern web application then logs every scan-from "issue" to "return"-to build a complete, transparent lifecycle history for every single container. This data is processed by an analytics engine to provide real-time dashboards and, crucially, predictive maintenance alerts. Instead of guessing, logistics and maintenance teams can view a quantifiable "Health Score" for each box, which is automatically calculated based on its usage cycles, location history, and last inspection. The entire platform is managed through a clean, responsive, and intuitive web interface built with Next.js and React, providing specialized dashboards for different teams. This solution is perfectly suited for complex manufacturing, dispatch, and logistics operations where containers are constantly reused, and asset loss is a major, untracked expense. The Smart Logistics Monitoring System offers a massive leap forward in operational efficiency, asset accountability, and predictive cost-savings for any modern supply chain."
