MUMBAI, India, Jan. 3 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102376 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 24, 2025, for 'system for self-powered occupancy detection in storage racks or shelves.'
Inventor(s) include Matrika Singh; and Dr Vikas Sharma.
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 invention relates to a self-powered occupancy detection system (100) for storage racks or shelves. Each sensor module (102) includes a solar panel (104), energy storage device (106), optical sensing assembly (108), controller (110), and wireless transceiver (112). The optical sensor (108) detects the presence or absence of items, while the transceiver (112) wirelessly transmits occupancy data to a central gateway (114). The gateway aggregates information and communicates it to a display interface (116) on mobile devices or television screens, enabling real-time monitoring of rack occupancy. The system (100) operates autonomously, requiring no wired power connections, and minimizes maintenance due to energy harvesting and storage. This provides accurate, scalable, and efficient management of storage spaces in warehouses, retail facilities, and libraries, reducing inventory errors and optimizing space utilization."
