According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Smart Logistics Vehicles are a modern innovation in industrial automation, aimed at improving the internal movement of goods in factories and warehouses. Unlike manual transport systems, these autonomous vehicles integrate sensors, microcontrollers, and IoT-based wireless communication to ensure efficient, safe, and flexible material handling. The proposed system features real-time obstacle detection using IR sensors, temperature monitoring, live status display on an LCD, and remote operation through Wi-Fi connectivity. By reducing downtime, minimizing human involvement in risky areas, and lowering operational costs, the vehicle enhances both productivity and workplace safety. The prototype demonstrates energy-efficient and sustainable logistics solutions, while also serving as a scalable model for future applications. Potential extensions include GPS integration for outdoor navigation, AI-based smart routing, and coordinated fleet deployment, making it adaptable to industrial, agricultural, and residential environments."
