MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521124504 A) filed by Agrovision Farmers Producer Company Limited, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'an artificial intelligence and internet of things enabled smart solar drying system with integrated multi-sensor quality monitoring, adaptive control, and predictive analytics for agricultural produce.'
Inventor(s) include Vaibhav Laxman Dhasal.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an intelligent solar drying system (100) integrating artificial intelligence, Internet of Things connectivity, and advanced sensing technologies for optimized drying of agricultural produce. The system comprises a solar drying chamber (110), a multi-sensor network (200) including near-infrared spectroscopy (230) for non-contact moisture measurement and an electronic nose array (240) for aroma profiling and spoilage detection, an edge computing unit (300) with machine learning capabilities, actuator systems (700) including variable speed fans and motorized vents, and IoT connectivity (900). An adaptive drying algorithm (400) processes multi-sensor data to optimize drying parameters in real-time, while a weather-adaptive controller (500) proactively adjusts operations based on weather predictions. The system further includes predictive maintenance (600), automated emergency protection (730), and quality grading (1100) capabilities. The invention reduces drying time by 15-30%, minimizes post-harvest losses, ensures consistent product quality, and enables remote monitoring and control."
