MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010566 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'vision-guided automated sorting system using plc-based control.'

Inventor(s) include Ayyagari Pavan Siddhardh; Rishabh Kumar; Shreyansh Jadav; Tanish Pawar; Tejas Shirgaonkar; and Dr. Vijaykumar S. Jatti.

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 presents invention discloses a vision-guided automated sorting system (100) configured to classify and sort workpieces with improved accuracy and reduced human intervention. The system (100) comprises a conveyor unit (102) for transporting objects, a computer-vision module (104) positioned above the conveyor for real-time image acquisition and classification, a processor (108) for data analysis and decision-making, and a PLC (110) configured to execute ladder-logic-based actuation control. A pick-and-place mechanism (106) selectively removes classified objects from the conveyor and deposits them into designated output zones based on predetermined sorting criteria. The processor (108) communicates sorting commands to the PLC (110), ensuring synchronized motion control and efficient robotic handling. The system (100) enables adaptive category updates without mechanical modification, improves sorting throughput, minimizes manual errors, and provides a reliable solution for automated industrial material handling applications."
