MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541074071 A) filed by Senapathi Hari Krishna, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Aug. 4, 2025, for 'app-controlled aluminium-based grain drying and storage unit with automated rain protection.'
Inventor(s) include Senapathi Hari Krishna.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a modular, app-controlled grain drying and storage unit designed primarily for small and medium-scale farmers. Constructed using aluminium or optionally clay, the unit features dual flipping covers, an elevated stand, a grain outlet with hose compatibility, and an internal wooden blade-cylinder for rotating and drying grains. A key objective of this system is to protect harvested crops from unexpected rain, which commonly causes post-harvest losses in rural farming areas. The invention is scalable in three levels: Basic, Medium, and Advanced, with features such as IoT sensors (rain, temperature, humidity), motorized components, mobile app control, solar power, and security enhancements. It is designed to minimize energy usage, reduce food waste, and promote the use of sustainable or recyclable materials, such as clay or aluminium. The Advanced model supports real-time monitoring and automatic weather response through sensor-activated covers. This system reduces dependence on manual intervention, prevents moisture-induced spoilage, and improves grain handling and storage efficiency in cost-effective, rural-friendly formats."
