MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631019724 A) filed by Subhranil Das; Arka Pal; Souvik Saha; Dr. Partha Pratim Chakrabarty; Dr Mandakinee Bandyopadhyay; and Soumen Santra, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Feb. 20, for 'hybrid cloud-edge multi-agent agricultural monitoring and autonomous decision orchestration system.'
Inventor(s) include Subhranil Das; Arka Pal; Souvik Saha; Dr. Partha Pratim Chakrabarty; Dr Mandakinee Bandyopadhyay; and Soumen Santra.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention is a hybrid cloud(edge) and edge(multi-agent) agriculture monitoring and decision orchestration system that performs agriculture management for farmers with limited resources. This invention includes a distributed cloud-based orchestration/management server, an edge gateway and many microcontroller-based sensor/actuator nodes. The cloud orchestration creates the necessary cloud-based artificial intelligence model developed to perform the intensive computations needed to manage multiple specialized agents providing perception, diagnosis, planning, policy evaluation and execution. Data collected from the crop via distributed sensing agents are sent to the edge gateway where they are aggregated, pre-processed, and securely communicated back to the remote cloud-based orchestration layer through a wired network connection. The orchestration engine generates agronomic advisories and control commands based on contextual factors (such as environmental conditions), temporal trends and past data, which are then sent back to the edge gateway to be executed using actuator agents. The system provides hybrid operational capacity by creating an autonomous "fallback" decision-making process at the edge in the event of loss of network connectivity, enabling continuous system operation. Using a combination of distributed sensing, agent-based AI and collaborative cloud/edge execution the invention will allow scalable, low-cost, resilient precision agriculture automation without requiring high-end computing resources in the field."
