MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531109984 A) filed by Hamilton Research & Technology Private Limited, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Nov. 12, for 'system, apparatus, and method for monitoring wedges in an aluminium smelting plant.'
Inventor(s) include Arora, Vikas; Nasipuri, Tapan Kumar; and Chakraborty, Bikash.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 28, under issue no. 48/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a system for monitoring wedges (112) placed between a plurality of busbars (108) connecting aluminium smelter pots (106) in an aluminium smelting plant. In one embodiment the system includes a plurality of IoT-based monitoring devices (114), each of the IoT-based monitoring devices (114) are operatively coupled to a wedge (112). The wedge (112) is disposed between a set of busbars (108) providing power to aluminium smelter pot (106). The wedge (112) disconnects the power supply from the busbar (108) to the aluminium smelter pot (106). Each of the IoT-based monitoring devices (114) is configured to measure voltage across the respective wedge (112) disposed between the set of busbars (108). A management node (118) is communicatively coupled to each of the IoT-based monitoring devices (114). The management node (118) is configured to periodically receive voltage data value from one or more IoT-based monitoring devices (114) corresponding to each of the wedges (112) and dynamically determine at least one wedge (112) with corresponding voltage data value greater than a threshold voltage data value."
