Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems in Duisburg have devised a wireless, sensor-based system to provide continuous monitoring of the condition of storage shelves in warehouses.
Typically, to protect storage shelves from collisions from forklift trucks, their supports are fitted with an air cushion designed to absorb the impact. The Fraunhofer researchers took advantage of this fact by integrating sensors in the protective fitting that measure the pressure within the air cushion.
