MUMBAI, India, Dec. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511100087 A) filed by Transformatio Technologies (OPC) Private Limited, Ludhiana, Punjab, on Oct. 16, for 'system and method for managing and quarantining non-conforming (nc) parts produced on machines in factories.'
Inventor(s) include Ambika Sarup; and Gaurav Sarup.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart digital quarantine system for securely managing non-conforming (NC) parts produced during machining, forming, molding, casting, forging, or other manufacturing operations in factory environments. The system integrates CNC machine monitoring units, dimensional and surface-quality sensing modules, manual or robotic handling mechanisms, and a smart receptacle with controlled access features to ensure that NC parts are accurately identified, securely quarantined, and prevented from mixing with conforming parts. A first sensor positioned at the receptacle entry detects and records NC part attributes and count, while a gauge unit upstream independently verifies corresponding counts. A reconciliation process compares both counts, interlocking machine operations until proper quarantine is confirmed. The smart receptacle further includes a damping mechanism to prevent impact damage, a communication unit for transmitting quarantine data to cloud or factory servers, and an electronically controlled lock operable through biometric, smartcard, OTP, or digital code authentication for authorized retrieval of quarantined NC parts."
