MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611007561 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 27, for 'astramesh -an intelligent iot-based disaster management system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Navjot Rathour.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses AstraMesh, an intelligent Internet of Things-based multi-hazard disaster management system designed for real-time detection, severity assessment, and autonomous response to natural and man-made disasters. The system employs a decentralized architecture built around a Raspberry Pi-based edge computing platform integrated with modular environmental and safety sensors. Sensor data is processed locally using machine learning models to enable offline hazard detection, sensor fusion, and event prioritization without reliance on continuous internet connectivity. A self-healing mesh communication network ensures reliable inter-node coordination during infrastructure failures. Upon detection of hazardous conditions, the system autonomously activates local mitigation mechanisms such as alarms, valve closures, and emergency controls. The system supports solar power with battery backup and optional remote alerting. The invention provides a scalable, resilient, and cost-effective solution for early warning and rapid disaster response in urban, rural, industrial, and remote environments."
