MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641072295 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 10, 2026, for Intelligent Plant Environment Regulation Apparatus With Priority-Based Cooling Override, Stagnation Detection, And Soil Moisture Control For Controlled Agricultural Environments.
Inventors include Parthiban K; R. Dharun; Swetha Sivadas; Akarsh Mishra; Rounak Sanjay Gorde; and Dwija Bharatkumar Tandel.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent plant environment regulation apparatus for controlled agricultural environments including greenhouses, indoor farming facilities, and smart cultivation arrangements. The apparatus comprises a temperature sensing arrangement, a soil moisture sensing arrangement, a plant-type selection arrangement, a programmable controller arrangement, a cooling arrangement, an irrigation arrangement, and a relay-controlled actuator arrangement. The apparatus continuously acquires environmental data and automatically regulates cooling and irrigation operations according to predefined plant-specific thresholds. A priority- based cooling override arrangement suspends irrigation during elevated thermal conditions, while an environmental stagnation detection arrangement initiates corrective irrigation during prolonged low temperature variation. The invention further incorporates validated operational selection, sensor stabilization, fault handling, real-time display, and data logging functionality. The invention improves water-use efficiency, reduces energy consumption, minimizes manual intervention, and enhances plant growth stability in controlled agricultural environments.
