Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for detecting a leakage condition are provided. In one embodiment, a container integrity system can obtain sensor data associated with a sensor pad placed on or integrated with shelves or similar surfaces. Containers or items susceptible to leakage can be positioned on the sensor pad, and sensors distributed throughout the sensor pad can measure force profiles exerted by the items. The container integrity system can identify the presence or absence of a leakage condition using the sensor data from the sensor pad.
