Centre launches smart warehousing system to monitor real-time operations via AI

▤ Summary

India's food ministry has launched a smart warehousing system to monitor inventory and operations in 216 Central Warehousing Corporation grain warehouses. The rollout uses AI, IoT, FASTag, ANPR, smart locks, face recognition, and sensor-based monitoring to improve transparency and reduce diversion of grain from the Public Distribution System. The system also integrates with ERP to generate automated records, real-time alerts, and operational dashboards. The Food Corporation of India plans to extend a similar system to 150 warehouses by October. This move signals a wider push toward technology-driven warehouse control in public-sector logistics.
