Inventor(s) include Dr. Arun; Dr. Sahaya Sheela M; Vaka Venkata Krishna; M Tarun Aditya; Tunuguntla Sesha Raghu Ram; Suddapalli Harish; Adisetti Harini; Salipindi Venkata Avinash; and Katkuri John.

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: "The present invention relates to an adaptive Edge-AI based hybrid PLC-IoT smart automation and autonomous control system for intelligent residential and industrial automation applications. The system integrates an ESP32S3-based edge controller with protected digital inputs, relay-driven outputs, optocoupler isolation, snubber protection circuits, RS485 communication, and a DWIN-based intelligent human-machine interface. The proposed system supports cloud-assisted remote control and autonomous offline operation during network failures. An adaptive Edge-AI engine continuously analyzes appliance behavior, environmental sensor data, occupancy patterns, energy consumption trends, and operational conditions to perform predictive automation, intelligent fault detection, adaptive energy optimization, and autonomous safety management. The system further supports multi-protocol communication including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UART, MQTT, HTTP, and Modbus for scalable industrial-residential integration. The invention provides improved operational reliability, intelligent edge-level decision-making, industrial-grade electrical protection, secure automation control, and fail-safe smart infrastructure management suitable for next-generation autonomous automation environments."
