MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641079106 A) filed by Ifet College Of Engineering on June 26, 2026, for Decentralized Multi-Sensor Waste Monitoring And Hazard Assessment System.
Inventors include Dr. Sathyabama K; Ms. Sharanya S; Ms. Retheka S; Mrs. R. Vanitha; Dr. Pauline Freeda D; and Mrs. E. Jothi.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: A decentralized waste monitoring system (100) for real-time waste-condition assessment and hazard detection is disclosed. The system comprises a smart waste bin assembly (102), a weight sensing module (104), a fill-level sensing module (106), a gas detection module (108), an image acquisition module (110), an edge processing module (112), a multi-sensor data fusion module (114), a waste classification module (116), a waste hazard index computation module (118), an operational stage determination module (120), and a decentralized network communication module (122). The sensing modules acquire waste-related parameters including accumulated weight, fill level, gas-condition information, and visual waste characteristics. The acquired information is processed locally by the edge processing module (112), wherein the multi-sensor data fusion module (114) generates a consolidated waste-condition dataset. The waste hazard index computation module (118) generates a waste hazard index, and the operational stage determination module (120) classifies waste conditions into fresh, decomposition, or hazardous stages. The system enables autonomous waste-condition evaluation, hazard identification, and scalable decentralized waste management.
