MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095380 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for System And Method For Providing Modular Wireless Sensor Nodes For Precision Agricultural Monitoring.
Inventors include Irfan Ahmad Pindoo; Indu Bala; Pawandeep Kaur; and Rahul Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for precision agricultural monitoring utilizing modular wireless sensor nodes designed to measure various agricultural parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, light intensity, and nutrient levels. Each sensor node is equipped with a wireless communication module for data transmission to a central data platform, an edge computing unit for local data processing, and a power management system that includes a battery and optionally a solar panel for energy harvesting. The modular design allows for customization and configuration of sensor types to meet specific agricultural needs, while the wireless communication module employs low-power protocols to ensure efficient data transmission. The edge computing unit reduces latency and bandwidth usage by processing data closer to the source, and the power management system optimizes energy usage to extend the operational life of the sensor nodes. The central data platform aggregates and analyzes data from the sensor nodes and is accessible through user interfaces, including mobile applications. The sensor nodes are distributed across an agricultural field to form a wireless sensor network, allowing for strategic placement to cover a wide area and enabling easy maintenance and upgrades through the replacement of individual components.
