MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133433 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'iot enabled fuzzy logic based adaptive smart waste collection bin system.'
Inventor(s) include B. Maheswari; and N. Punitha.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled intelligent trash management framework that uses fuzzy logic-driven computational techniques for dynamic urban waste pickup operations. A computation module for fuzzy classification and weighted data integration, intelligent waste containers with sensors to detect volume occupancy, load weight, and accumulation duration, and a wireless transmission unit to transmit bin status updates to a central urban oversight platform comprise the framework. The suggested technique uses fuzzy descriptive terms that accommodate for unpredictable and inaccurate waste scenarios to build a pickup urgency index, in contrast to typical systems that rely on defined limitations or dates. It flexibly chooses between normal, priorities, or postponed emptying actions using predefined rule sets based on inequality. The invention reduces vehicle fuel consumption, improves resource use, prevents spills, and enables expanding implementations in contemporary metropolitan settings."
