MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048466 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 16, for 'real-time machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis using esp32 and multi-sensor fusion.'
Inventor(s) include J Arthy; Dr. S. Sridevi; Dr. N. Suganthi; Madhanamugan K; Yogesh; and Shreyaas.
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 real-time machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis system utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller and multi-sensor fusion technology. The system integrates multiple sensors including a temperature sensor, vibration sensor, infrared alignment sensor, and speed detection sensor to continuously monitor critical operational parameters of industrial machinery. Sensor data is processed using sensor fusion algorithms within the ESP32 to detect abnormal operating conditions such as overheating, misalignment, speed deviation, and mechanical vibration faults. Upon detection of anomalies, the system generates local alerts and transmits real-time diagnostic information to a remote monitoring platform via wireless communication. The invention enables predictive maintenance, reduces unexpected downtime, improves operational safety, and enhances equipment reliability. The system is adaptable to various industrial machines, and in one embodiment, is implemented in a conveyor belt system for demonstration of real-time fault detection and intelligent monitoring capabilities."
