MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043535 A) filed by Sabitha. K, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on April 6, for 'aiot based intelligent indoor farming and soil management system.'
Inventor(s) include Sabitha. K.
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 new invention introduces an intelligent indoor farming and soil management system utilizing Artificial Intelligence of Things (AioT) technologies that provides real-time monitoring and control of soil conditions. The system features an NPK sensor and moisture sensor to continuously collect vital soil measurements necessary for plant growth. The collected soil measurement data will then be transmitted via dual controller architecture using an Arduino UNO and ESP32 allowing for effective data collection, processing and transmission. Real-time sensor data is also compared with stored reference values from an attached dataset, where crop type and growth stage are used to compare sensor reading and reference values to activate the irrigation and fertilizer control unit actuated through relay mechanisms. A key aspect of the invention is its mixing unit that delivers only nutrients when soils show an insufficiency, allowing for accurate delivery of nutrients. The system functions in a continuous closed-loop control cycle that continuously monitors, evaluates and corrects soil conditions without the need for human intervention. Additionally, the invention allows cloud-based monitoring via an loT platform that enables remote viewing of soil parameters and system status in real-time. Many current systems only provide either irrigation or minimal monitoring; however, the proposed system combines nutrient sensing, moisture management, intelligent analysis and automated actuation in one solution. The integrated systems will improve resource efficiency and decrease the amount of water and fertilizer wasted while increasing the production of crops. This invention is well-suited for use indoors, in greenhouses and in controlled environments and provides a scalable and sustainable method for precision agriculture. Therefore, the proposed system has shown substantial technological improvement and potential industrial application regarding smart farming techniques."
