MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043315 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 4, for 'iot-enabled greenhouse roof ventilation system with synchronized fan control and rain override mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include Anushka Mazumdar; Sayan Banerjee; Ronik Chatterjee; Rajrup Das; Jayita Pal; Tathagata Chatterjee; and Swarnali Daw.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention discloses an IoT-enabled smart greenhouse roof ventilation system for crop-specific climate regulation. The system utilizes a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller to process data from temperature, humidity, and precipitation sensors. It features a motorized roof vent and internal fans that operate in a synchronized manner to optimize airflow and energy efficiency. A specialized rain override mechanism ensures the vent closes within two seconds of detecting precipitation, protecting sensitive crops like Mentha spp. from water ingress and fungal pathogens. The system employs rule-based logic with crop-optimized thresholds to dynamically adjust the internal environment, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution for sustainable agricultural automation."
