MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411010918 A) filed by Interglobe Aviation Limited, New Delhi, on Feb. 16, 2024, for 'real time baggage weight monitoring in a departure control system and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Raje, Ganesh Kirtikumar; and Jain, Meenakshi.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The baggage weight monitoring and entry system integrates with Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE)/ Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) to provide a robust solution for real-time baggage weight monitoring within airport operations. This system comprises a peripheral control manager, a departure control system, and a weighing scale, facilitating communication between these components. The baggage weight monitoring and entry system is configured to receive activation signals from the departure control system, determine the weight of baggage via the connected weighing scale, and transmit weight data back to the departure control system for automatic passenger record updates. Additionally, it can assess whether baggage exceeds predefined weight thresholds and detect any manipulations / overriding of weight entries into the DCS system in real time, generating alerts for overweight conditions and such manipulations/ overriding. The system supports connectivity with cloud servers for data storage and analytics and integrates with multiple peripheral devices, enhancing operational efficiency. By automating weight measurements and data entry, this invention eliminates errors caused by manual entries thereby significantly increasing the accuracy of baggage weight and optimizes resource management."
