Indji Systems Secures New U.S. Patent to Enhance Hazard-Asset Alerting for Renewable Energy and Utility Networks
Indji Systems Inc., the provider of the market-leading Indji Watch™ software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted patent US12380794B2, titled “Alert Generation System and Method.” This milestone builds upon Indji’s existing intellectual property portfolio, including US10089854B2, further strengthening the company’s technological edge in hazard monitoring and alerting for renewable energy and utility operators across the United States.
Adam Hender, CEO of Indji Systems, emphasized the significance of the patent: “This new patent demonstrates our ongoing commitment to innovation and reinforces our leadership in environmental hazard monitoring. It addresses the complex challenge of dynamically tracking hazards as they threaten critical assets, ensuring our customers can operate safely and confidently even in increasingly volatile environmental conditions.”
Expanding Innovation in Hazard-Asset Monitoring
The newly granted patent provides advanced capabilities for modeling and alerting, specifically designed to enhance the operational safety and efficiency of renewable energy facilities and electrical networks. Key innovations include:
- Explicit Hazard and Asset Modeling: The patent enables precise modeling of a wide range of environmental hazards—including lightning, hail, and wildfires—alongside critical assets such as wind turbines, solar arrays, and transmission lines. This dual-layer modeling ensures a comprehensive view of potential risks and their interaction with valuable infrastructure.
- Dynamic, Real-Time Updates: Unlike static alert systems, the patented technology continuously updates hazard information as conditions evolve. This dynamic approach ensures alerts remain accurate and relevant, giving operators the ability to respond proactively to changing weather and environmental threats.
- Smarter Alerting Logic: The system evaluates hazards in relation to the trajectory, proximity, and potential overlap with assets, enabling more precise and actionable alerts. By focusing on real-time risk assessment, Indji Watch™ reduces unnecessary notifications while highlighting the most urgent threats, helping operators prioritize response efforts effectively.
- Long-Term Intellectual Property Protection: The patent extends Indji Systems’ IP protection well into the 2030s, ensuring continued innovation and stability for customers relying on the Indji Watch™ platform. This longevity provides confidence to renewable energy operators and utilities that Indji remains at the forefront of hazard alert technology.
Real-World Benefits for Customers
Indji Watch™, now powered by this newly patented technology, delivers tangible benefits for renewable energy operators and utility companies:
- Infrastructure Protection: By providing precise, real-time alerts, the system helps safeguard critical infrastructure from severe weather and environmental hazards. For example, wind turbines, solar arrays, and transmission lines can be monitored and protected from potential damage, reducing downtime and repair costs.
- Regulatory and Insurance Compliance: The platform assists operators in meeting insurance and compliance requirements. Features such as automatic stow of solar trackers in the event of hail help facilities adhere to industry regulations while minimizing equipment risk.
- Operational Efficiency: With more intelligent alerting, operators can reduce false alarms and focus on actionable threats, optimizing workforce deployment and response times. This efficiency enhances both safety and productivity, translating into operational and financial advantages for organizations managing renewable energy and electrical networks.
Adam Hender added, “As renewable energy deployment accelerates across the U.S., operators face increasingly complex environmental challenges. This patent ensures that Indji Watch™ continues to deliver the most advanced hazard monitoring and alerting technology, helping our customers protect their assets, comply with regulations, and operate with confidence.”
By combining patented hazard modeling, dynamic updates, and smart alert logic, Indji Systems continues to lead the market in providing actionable environmental intelligence for the energy sector. The company’s commitment to innovation ensures that renewable energy and utility operators can navigate the growing complexity of environmental hazards with technology they can trust.
