Project Summary
The aim of our project is to mainly focus on designing an automated vending machine to provide the user with a various range of products: snacks, beverages, pizzas, cupcakes, newspapers, tickets, etc. We will be creating our machine in such a way that it can take the product to the users based on the amount of money and selection of the product and distribute the product as required. The machine consists of simple electromechanical systems. We are utilizing a lighting-controlled environment where our vending machine helps to automate the entire vending process. This automatic machine system can be installed in educational organizations, hostels and hospitals to facilitie users. We are using the library cubeMX IDE to fetch the data through the RFID reader module. RFID reader module EM-18 is a module that reads the ID information stored in RFID tags.
Project Objectives
1- To design vending machine using AutoCAD/CREO software.
2- To design a selection module that allows the selection of desired products that takes input from the user using RFID.
3- Metallic sheets fabricated machine.
4- Experimental testing of the prototype system.
Project Implementation Method
In the proposed vending machine, the stm32f103c8t6 is a controller along with an RFID tag and reader. In this system, there are three chambers for dispensing the items. Each chamber has one continuous rotation servo motor attached behind it, when someone inserts an RFID card on the vending machine and presses the button, the corresponding servo motor rotates and dispenses one item. Dispensaries coil has been attached to the servo motor to dispense the Item on the rotation of servo motor, these coils are made by cloth hanger wires. If the motor rotates with a fixed angle the products are available to the user at the output of the vending machine. Display information on LCD display such as insertion of RFID card, selection of product, and account balance.
Benefits of the Project
1- In educational organizations, some shops are opened for fixed hours. With this machine, you get 24-hour service.
2- This machine can be used where there is no shop.
3- We can use this machine at bus stations/railway stations.
4- They will work with you to find the best placement and products for your business to ensure your machine is always stocked and running at its best.
5- Able to easily move this system whenever and whatever.
6- This can be a multi-functional vending machine or multiple machines serving a variety of products from sodas and juices to snacks and fruits.
7- Keep your employees fed and satisfied by providing them with refreshing snacks and hot drinks or even meals — all customized to what they like or what they need.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
In this system, the user needs to insert an RFID card and press a button of user choice and the vending machine will dispense the corresponding item to the user. This RFID-based Vending Machine is majorly using four hardware systems which are: stm32f103c8t6, two continuous rotation servo motors, an LCD, an RFID card, and a 12V power supply. There are three buttons for selecting the items in the three chambers. LCD displays the messages and instructions to operate the Machine. This system is portable, affordable, consumes less power, and can be made easily available so that the user can use this system whenever and whatever.
