MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621030060 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 12, for 'apparatus and method for cost-optimized temperature monitoring in agricultural cold storage environments.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Dr. Mukesh Yadav; Praveen Patel; and Shyam Singh Thakur.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An apparatus (102) for cost-optimized temperature monitoring in agricultural cold storage environments comprises a single unified printed circuit board (104), a temperature sensor interface connector (106), a communication interface (108), and a hardware processor (110). The temperature sensor interface connector (106) incorporates polarity keying preventing incorrect connection orientation. The hardware processor (110) obtains temperature measurements from a digital temperature sensor (120), compares the temperature measurements with predetermined threshold values to determine threshold exceedance, generates wireless communication signals through a communication circuit (118) upon determining threshold exceedance, and transmits alert signals to an end user device (130). The communication interface (108) accepts plug-in communication circuit variants comprising WiFi, GSM, and LoRa circuits using identical mechanical footprint. The apparatus (102) achieves cost-optimized manufacturing through single-board integration eliminating inter-board electrical connections while maintaining automated wireless monitoring capability."
