Abstract: The present invention relates to an AI-powered biodegradable pot development system utilizing sugarcane crop residue for sustainable and eco-friendly pot manufacturing applications. The system is designed to efficiently convert agricultural biomass waste into biodegradable pots through an integrated framework comprising residue collection units, preprocessing modules, drying mechanisms, pulverizing sections, material mixing chambers, automated molding units, and intelligent control modules. The invention incorporates artificial intelligence techniques and sensor-based monitoring systems for analyzing material properties, optimizing production parameters, and improving manufacturing consistency during the biodegradable pot fabrication process. The preprocessing module performs cleaning, shredding, drying, and pulverization of sugarcane crop residue to obtain suitable biomass material for pot development. The AI-based control module continuously monitors operational parameters including moisture content, temperature, density, material composition, molding pressure, and drying duration to achieve optimized pot quality and structural integrity. The automated molding section shapes the prepared biomass mixture into biodegradable pots of predefined dimensions and configurations suitable for nursery, horticultural, and agricultural applications. The system further includes quality assessment mechanisms configured to evaluate durability, biodegradability, moisture resistance, and overall product performance. The invention enables sustainable utilization of sugarcane agricultural waste while reducing environmental pollution associated with plastic pots and crop residue disposal methods such as open-field burning. The AI-assisted operational framework improves production efficiency, minimizes material wastage, reduces labor dependency, and supports intelligent decision-making throughout the manufacturing cycle. The developed biodegradable pots naturally decompose in soil without releasing harmful substances, thereby promoting environmentally responsible agricultural practices and supporting circular economy objectives. The present invention provides an efficient, automated, and eco-friendly solution for converting sugarcane crop residue into value-added biodegradable products with improved manufacturing reliability and sustainability.
