MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521122443 A) filed by Rakhi Jaykumar Bharadwaj; Kirti Ananda Genge; Pranav Balasaheb Gawade; Shruti Sudhakar Ghorpade; and Yatharth Yogesh Gharde, Pune, Maharashtra, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'smart vertical farming monitoring system using iot and cloud.'
Inventor(s) include Rakhi Jaykumar Bharadwaj; Kirti Ananda Genge; Pranav Balasaheb Gawade; Shruti Sudhakar Ghorpade; and Yatharth Yogesh Gharde.
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 following outlines a new approach to controlled indoor agriculture with a vertical approach, leveraging the compatibility of inexpensive open-source hardware for unsophisticated logic that completely operates offline. The project provides a straightforward means to field continuous and real-time useful ecological variables. The hardware at the core project is an Arduino Uno with a capacitance soil moisture sensor, LDR, and DHT11 that components can be used to record and measure important ecological variables, manage irrigation to limit drought stress and over saturation in all plants, and schedule supplemental lighting by the user. The logged information is displayed to users as a 'living log' or, similar to physical hardware and computer code to operate within your own parameters. Living logging with private recorded environmental conditions or resource functionality or opportunity allows for an optimizable ideal growth practice in a person operating binary for their practice. Local data enabled visualization with physical control ensures the continuance of user empowerment because the practice is never totally reliant on useful cloud services or any complex network to facilitate meaningfully valuable modifications to existing algorithms. Indoor farming can retain affordablility, accessiblility, and replication when basic explanatory automation is instilled into prescriptive hardware."
