MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641026325 A) filed by Nandha Engineering College, Erode, Tamil Nadu, on March 6, for 'farming system using embedded sensors & lora network.'
Inventor(s) include M Srinevasan; R Ranjith Kumar; K Santhosh; and S Shoma Prakash.
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: "The present invention relates to a smart farming system designed for real-time monitoring of agricultural field conditions using embedded sensors and long-range wireless com~unication technology. The SY,Stem aims o address the limitations of traditional farming practices that rely on manual observation and periodic inspection of soil and environmental parameters. By integrating sensor based monitoring with embedded control, the invention enables continuous data acquisition and improved decision-making in agricultural operations. The proposed system comprises a transmitter unit equipped with a microcontroller interfaced with soil moisture and temperature-humidity sensors. These sensors continuously measure critical environmental !Parameters affecting crop grOvth. The collected data is processed by the microcontroller and transmitted wirelessly using a low power LoRa communication module. The use of LoRa technology allows long-range data transmission without reliance on internet or cellular networks, making the system suitable for rural and remote agricultural regions. The receiver unit includes a microcontroller connected to a LoRa communication module for receiving the transmitted sensor data. The received data is displayed in real time on a display module and can be used to control external loads such as irrigation systems through a relay module based on predefined conditions. The invention operates with low power consumption, reduces manual labor improves water and resource management and supports sustainable and data driven agricultural practices."
