MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611007547 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 27, for 'ai-enabled food rescue network for optimized redistribution, real-time monitoring, and waste reduction.'
Inventor(s) include Vaneet Kumar; Mayank; Manik Pathria; Sneha; Chandan Singla; and Divij Mahajan.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a computer-implemented food rescue and redistribution system that minimizes food wastage and enhances food accessibility. The system comprises a donor interface for inputting surplus food details, a recipient interface for browsing or requesting donations, and an AI-based matching engine configured to predict demand and automatically allocate food to suitable recipients. A logistics optimization module generates cost-effective delivery routes, while a real-time monitoring system tracks donation status and food safety parameters, including temperature and humidity, during transport. The invention further incorporates a data analytics module to identify donation patterns, seasonal trends, and geographic demand hotspots, enabling predictive planning and scalable operations. By integrating artificial intelligence, logistics optimization, and IoT-enabled monitoring into a unified platform, the invention transforms food rescue into an automated, transparent, and technically robust process, thereby reducing food waste, ensuring timely delivery, and fostering sustainable community engagement."
