MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051364 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on April 22, for 'automatic residue accumulation detection system for drip irrigation networks.'
Inventor(s) include Ch. Ramcharan; Boda Somraj; Jogula Karunakar; and Shaik Rameeza.
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: "Disclosed herein is an automatic residue accumulation detection system (100) for a drip irrigation network that comprises a pump (102), a filtration unit (104), a chemical injection unit (106), and a sub-main line (108) for fluid transport. A residue sensor module (110) integrated with the sub-main line (108) includes an impedance sensor (112), an optical and infrared sensor (114), and a ultrasonic sensor (116) configured to detect residue accumulation and associated variations in fluid characteristics. A microcontroller and processing unit (118) with an artificial intelligence processing module (120) analyses multi-modal sensing data to identify and classify residue buildup. A wireless IoT module (122) transmits data to a cloud monitoring platform (124) and a user interface (126) for real-time monitoring and alerts. An automated control unit (128) initiates corrective actions including localized flushing (130), chemical dosing (132), and valve control (134), enabling continuous real-time monitoring and early detection of residue buildup."
