Inventor(s) include Dr. Anitha S; Mohammed Muzammil S; Niranchana S; Prince P; Sri Nithya R; and Sridhar L.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention pertains to a smart system for segi'egating and measuring metallic waste, capable of automatically detecting, separating, and quantifying metal materials from a mixed waste stream. The system includes a waste input section, a metal detection sensor, a microcontroller, a motorized or servo-controlled separation mechanism, a measurement module, and a display or loT- enabled communication unit. Metallic items are identified based on their electrical conductivity and magnetic characteristics, and the microcontroller operates the separation mechanism in real time to direct metals into a designated collection container while diverting non-metallic waste to a separate compartment. The measurement module determines the weight or volume of the collected metals, and the resulting data is either displayed locally or transmitted wirelessly for remote monitoring. The system is powered by a DC supply and features a compact, coiTOsion-resistant design, making it suitable for domestic, industrial, and municipal applications, and enabling automated, efficient, and safe waste management while enhancing recycling and resource recovery."
