It may happen that a device is reserved but the user who reserved it then uses a free device instead. This, effectively, blocks two devices: the reserved one and the one the reserving user is actually using. The following simple class helps you deal with this problem. You only need to put it in a deployment tool like Jenkins. This will trigger it in cycles to clear the unused reservations every hour, two hours, and so on (as per your configuration).
You can download the PerfectoReservationOptimizer.jar file you need to add to your project from by clicking here. Following is the simple code you need to run in Java to delete the unused reservations. The startTime/endTime should be in milliseconds from midnight, January 1, 1970 ( Epoch/Unix Time).
