MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062286 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 16, for 'ai and iot enabled defect-aware automated leather cutting system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Perepi Rajarajeswari; and Dr. S. Senthur Prabu.
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: "AI and IoT Enabled Defect-Aware Automated Leather Cutting System The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled system for automated leather cutting. The system includes a vision-based scanning module configured to capture images of a leather sheet and an AI processing unit configured to detect boundary contours of the leather sheet, identify defective regions, determine grain orientation, and generate a defect-aware optimized nesting layout along with corresponding cutting instructions. An automated positioning mechanism aligns the leather sheet based on the generated layout, and a cutting module performs cutting operations accordingly. A sensor-based counting module detects and counts the cut pieces to generate production data. An IoT communication module transmits the production data to a remote system for real-time monitoring. The system operates in a coordinated closed-loop manner to synchronize detection, layout generation, cutting, and counting, thereby improving material utilization and reducing manual intervention."
