MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123858 A) filed by Dr. Kanapathy Gopalakrishnan, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'system design and method of development of remote monitoring of hazardous environment at mining site.'

Inventor(s) include Pratheekshasl Gowda; Shaila Shreed; Sirisha V; Varshitha R; Sunitham; Maheshm R; Dr. Rohith S; and Dr. H Venkatesh Kumar.

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 patent disclosure covers System, Design and Method of Development of Remote Monitoring of Hazardous Environment at Mining Site. This Patent disclosure introduces a wireless environmental and hazard monitoring system specifically designed for remote and hazardous environments, such as mining sites. It used dual microcontroller and LoRa (LongRange) communication to provide real-time monitoring and alerts. The system is split into two units: a transmitter equipped with sensors like gas detector, vibration sensor, and DHT11 for temperature and humidity; and a receiver that triggers alarms and send SMS alerts when abnormal readings are detected. Additionally, a NodeMCU module uploads sensor data to the clouds for logging and remote access. This design ensure early detection of dangerous conditions, enabling prompt preventive action and enhancing safety in applications such as environments, smart homes, and environmental monitoring. Traditional monitoring system are often limited by short-range communication (e.g., Wi-Fi or Bluetooth),lack of internet connectivity, and dependence on wired sensor, which are impractical for large - scale or remote sites. These systems typically rely on basic microcontroller or PLCs without cloud integration, offering only local alerts through buzzers or lights, which may go unnoticed in critical situations. In contrast, the proposed Lora-based system offers a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and scalable solution with long-range wireless capability and cloud integration. By enabling SMS alerts and remote access to real-time data, it significantly improves hazard response times and operational safety, particularly in challenging environments like mines."
