MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641019057 A) filed by Sri Krishna College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 19, for 'iot-enabled solar-powered a-frame vertical aquaponic farming system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr S Sundararaj.
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 present invention relates to an IoT-enabled solar-powered smart vertical farming system integrating aquaponic cultivation within an A-frame structural configuration. The system comprises an aquaculture unit including a fish culture tank (101), mechanical filter (102), and biofilter (103) that converts ammonia-rich effluent into nutrient-rich water for plant growth. The nutrient water is circulated using a pump (104) through vertically stacked grow beds (106) mounted on an A-frame structure (105) and returned to the fish tank (101), forming a closed-loop system. Crop-growth volumes are truncated along X, Y, and Z directions to enable overlapping growth regions, thereby increasing plant density within limited space. A sensor network (108) monitors environmental and water-quality parameters and communicates with an IoT-based control unit (109) to automate pumps, aerators, and ventilation units (110). A solar power module (112) enables energy-efficient, off-grid operation, while cloud connectivity (111) supports remote monitoring and predictive optimization."
