MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631031268 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 16, for 'a iot-integrated spoilage propagation prediction system.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Diptayan Paul; Ms. Suseta Datta; Dr. Sudakshina Mandal; Ms. Debrupa Pal; and Ms. Subhasree Bhattacherjee.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An AIoT-based system and method are provided for the proactive management of fruit spoilage in storage environments. The invention utilizes a distributed grid of IoT sensor nodes to monitor ethylene gas, temperature, and humidity. By modeling storage units as nodes within a Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Network (STGNN), the system identifies spatial and temporal dependencies that govern spoilage propagation. Unlike reactive monitoring systems, the present invention predicts the future path of spoilage across interconnected units and generates real-time relocation recommendations. This predictive framework enables the isolation of healthy produce, thereby reducing post-harvest losses and improving supply-chain efficiency."
