Inventor(s) include Ms S. Vidhiya; Ms K. M. Madhumitha; Ms P. Divya; Abarna. R; Kanitha. M; and Barath. S.
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 discloses an intelligent waste management system comprising a smart waste bin (100) integrated with multiple sensors (110) including a fill-level sensor (112), temperature sensor, humidity sensor, air quality sensor, and smoke sensor (120) for real-time monitoring of waste conditions. The sensor data is processed by an embedded control unit (130) and transmitted via a ZigBee communication module (140) to a central server (200). The central server (200) includes a data processing unit (210), a predictive analytics module (220) for forecasting bin fill levels, and a route optimization module (230) for determining efficient waste collection paths. A user interface (300) enables real-time monitoring and decision-making, while waste collection vehicles (400) receive optimized routing instructions. The invention provides a unified, proactive, and data-driven waste management solution that enhances operational efficiency, reduces overflow incidents, and supports sustainable urban development."
