MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051532 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on April 22, for 'iot-based intelligent public distribution system (pds) monitoring with biometric and blockchain integration.'
Inventor(s) include G Ashok.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An IoT-based intelligent Public Distribution System (PDS) monitoring platform integrating biometric authentication and block chain technology to enhance transparency, security, and efficiency in subsidized commodity distribution. The system comprises smart ration dispensing units, biometric verification modules, IoT-enabled inventory sensors, communication gateways, and distributed block chain nodes. Beneficiary authentication is performed using fingerprint, iris, or facial recognition to ensure that only authorized individuals access entitled commodities. The block chain framework securely records all transactions, including authentication events, stock movements, and distribution logs, in an immutable and tamper-resistant ledger, enabling transparent auditing and traceability. IoT sensors continuously monitor stock levels, dispensing activities, and operational conditions in real time, providing accurate inventory tracking and anomaly detection. Smart contracts automate entitlement validation and ration allocation, reducing manual intervention and minimizing errors. The system further incorporates analytics for fraud detection, demand forecasting, and operational optimization. Secure communication protocols ensure safe data exchange across distributed components. Overall, the invention delivers a scalable, reliable, and intelligent platform that improves governance, reduces leakage, enhances beneficiary trust, and supports modernization of public distribution systems through integration of IoT, biometrics, and block chain technologies."
