        abstract = {This research presents an innovative hydrogel-based coating system designed to enhance surface protection across diverse industrial applications. The primary objective is to exploit the unique properties of hydrogels—including water retention, thermal stability, and environmental responsiveness—to develop coatings that surpass the limitations of conventional methods. These advanced hydrogel coatings aim to mitigate common industrial issues such as limescale deposition, inefficient heat transfer, and elevated greenhouse gas emissions, while simultaneously reducing maintenance frequency and chemical usage. The proposed system targets improved environmental sustainability, enhanced operational efficiency, and prolonged equipment lifespan. The project is structured into five core modules, each contributing a vital function to the overall architecture. The Coating Estimation Module calculates the required coating type and quantity based on surface characteristics and environmental conditions, ensuring precise and resource-efficient deployment. Data generated during the testing phase is fed into subsequent processes for iterative refinement. A centralized Admin Module governs the system, managing workflow and data integrity across all modules. It also oversees secure credential distribution through role-based access control, ensuring that module-specific outputs are accessible only to authorized personnel.},
