MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063496 A) filed by M. Kumarasamy College Of Engineering, Karur, Tamil Nadu, on May 20, for 'sugarcane maturity and sugar content prediction system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Selvi; Dr. K. Jeya Ganesh Kumar; Asir Robert S; Mouriya Sakthi M; and Vikesh K.
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: "The present invention relates to a portable, smart, and real-time sugarcane health and quality analysis system designed to assist farmers and agricultural agencies in evaluating sugarcane quality directly in field conditions. The system incorporates a Brix sensor to estimate sugar concentration, an alcohol sensor to detect fermentation indicating internal decay, and a pH sensor to evaluate the chemical balance and health condition of the sugarcane juice. Additionally, temperature and humidity sensors are included to monitor environmental factors that may influence sugar stability and crop condition. A microcontroller-based embedded system collects the sensor readings, performs signal conditioning, and processes the data locally within the device. To enhance measurement reliability, the system utilizes an intelligent optimization technique based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, which reduces noise and stabilizes sensor outputs under varying environmental conditions. The processed information is then displayed through an integrated display interface, allowing farmers to instantly observe sugarcane quality parameters in real time. By combining sensor-based diagnostics, embedded processing, and intelligent data optimization, the proposed system provides a cost-effective, portable, and field-ready solution for rapid sugarcane quality assessment."
