MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050521 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'system and method for predictive material transfer coordination in agricultural harvesting.'
Inventor(s) include Santhosh Kumar C; Akilandeswari J; Naveenkumar A; Krishna Prakash R; Naveena S; Nivetha M; Nithiyasri S; and Nithin M.
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 agricultural harvesting coordination system (100) is disclosed for enabling predictive material transfer during harvesting operations. The system includes an agricultural harvester (102) having a crop collection bin, a crop flow sensor configured to measure real-time harvested crop quantity, a global positioning module for generating location data, a soil condition sensor, and a wireless communication module. A receiving vehicle (104) is configured to receive harvested crop material, and a control unit (106) having a processor and memory is operatively connected to the harvester and the receiving vehicle. The control unit calculates accumulated harvested crop quantity, determines a projected geographic location at which the crop collection bin will reach a predetermined fullness threshold, and identifies a transfer location based on soil condition data and operational parameters. The control unit estimates travel time and transmits control signals to the receiving vehicle to synchronize arrival for crop transfer while harvesting continues. The system reduces harvesting interruption and soil compaction and may utilize aerial field imagery received from an unmanned aerial vehicle to update transfer location prediction."
