MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122757 A) filed by G. Pullaiah College Of Engineering And Technology, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'a system and method for iot-based embedded design for smart agriculture process automation.'

Inventor(s) include Madhusudhana Reddy Barusu; C. Lokanath Reddy; Y. Bhanu Priya; and K. Maheswari.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system and method for IoT-based embedded design applied to smart agriculture process automation. The invention integrates agricultural sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, communication gateways, cloud services, and user interfaces into a unified framework that enables real-time monitoring, adaptive control, and secure data exchange. Agricultural sensors measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop health, while embedded controllers process this data locally and trigger actuators to perform irrigation, fertilization, and climate regulation. A communication gateway ensures interoperability across heterogeneous devices by supporting IoT protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and LoRa, while cloud services provide analytics, predictive modelling, and long-term data storage. Farmers interact with the system through mobile and web applications, enabling remote monitoring, configuration, and decision-making. The invention emphasizes low-power operation, energy harvesting, and secure communication with encryption and authentication mechanisms. This comprehensive IoT-embedded framework enhances agricultural productivity, reduces resource wastage, and ensures sustainable farming practices through intelligent automation."
