MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631044850 A) filed by Dr. Somnath Maji; Kamal Hossain Gazi; Aditi Biswas; and Dr. Sankar Prasad Mondal, Durgapur, West Bengal, on April 8, for 'a system and a method to optimize fresh produce delivery using dynamic shelf-life adaptation, sensor-based freshness indexing, and traffic-aware routing control.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Somnath Maji; Kamal Hossain Gazi; Aditi Biswas; and Dr. Sankar Prasad Mondal.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a system and method for optimizing the delivery of fresh produce by using dynamic shelf-life adaptation and traffic-aware routing control. The system has a multi-modal freshness sensing module that collects environmental, biochemical, and mechanical data about perishable goods while they are being transported. Using real-time sensor data, a processor calculates a dynamic freshness index and uses predictive shelf-life modeling to figure out how much usable life is left. The system also has a traffic-aware route optimization engine that makes delivery routes based on how fresh the items are and how busy the roads are at the time. A microclimate regulation unit keeps the quality of the produce by changing the temperature, humidity, and airflow. A transit stress monitoring module updates the degradation parameters based on how the produce is being handled. The system lets you change the order of deliveries, change the route, and make changes to the environment in real time. This cuts down on waste and makes things run more smoothly. The architecture that was revealed offers a hardware-integrated, sensor-driven, and adaptable way to move perishable goods."
