MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641083627 A) filed by Vardhaman College Of Engineering on July 07, 2026, for Ergonomic Grain Storage Device.
Inventors include G. Akshaya; N. Srinu; P. Avishya; P. Shashi Kumar; Rajitha Ala; and A. D. Sirisha.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: An ergonomic grain storage device, comprising a storage tank 101, a plurality of motorized apertures 103 to selectively control the release and distribution of stored grains, a plurality of radial sliders 201, each slider 201 supporting a robotic arm 202 to rotate and agitate stored grains for uniform temperature and moisture distribution, a pest detection unit to monitor and detect early signs of pest infestation, fungal growth and chemical off-gassing, a fumigant storage compartment 205 to controllably release the fumigant into the storage tank 101 upon detection of pest-related chemical signatures in the tank, a plurality of motorized iris lids 106 to selectively actuate to provide controlled aeration of the grains, an AI (artificial intelligence) module integrated with microcontroller to analyze the sensor data using trained machine learning models for forecasting potential spoilage, pest outbreaks, and contamination risks and provide transparent reasoning onto a connected user interface for recommended actions.
