SMART WATER VENDING MACHINE
AIM:
The main aim of the project is to design a Smart water vending machine using RFID
technology.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the project is to provide safe drinking water instead of man power system by
using smart water vending machine.

DESCRIPTION:
Vending machines are the one which dispenses the free flowing substances such as water, oil,
food, beverages etc. In order to help the public, Government had already made the facilities
to provide clean drinking water with the coin based water vending machine, where on
inserting a coin the system dispenses the purified water as per the need. This project uses
RFID technology, the contactless technology used to identify the person or object uniquely
with the help of the unique code stored in it. This technology promotes cashless transaction.
Based on the unique code the person is able vend the ample amount of water at a defined time
and the amount is deducted for every use of the card. MATLAB SIMULINK is used for the
analyses of speed control of the pump at the normal condition and after the feedback received
from the raindrop sensor. It uses Arduino IDE and implementing it on Arduino board.
RFID TECHNOLOGY:
RFID is a secure and cost effective electronic identification wireless technology based on
capacitive inductive resonant system . This technology incorporates radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic fields. Passive RFID battery-less package includes the RFID card and RFID
reader with 13.56 MHz operational frequency. Radio tag or transponder, RFID reader, and a
data base to store UIDs (unique identification numbers) of RFID card tags and further details
of card holder, are the three significant components of RFID system . RFID card is an
identification card that stores a unique serial number, consisting of a tag or transponder made
up of small spiral coil shape inductor antenna and an electronic micro-chip . RFID reader
radiates 13.56 MHz frequency radio signals, and in addition acts as a power source for
passive RFID using EM field. Process of RFID doesn’t need line of sight, and is also
contactless, RFID reader just needs to be in range of RFID card (usually < 1m) in order to
read UID already stored in that specific card .
HARDWARE COMPONENTS:
1) Microcontroller (ATMEGA328P)
2) Power Supply
3) Reader module
4) Solenoid
5) LCD Display
6) Buzzer
SOFTWARE:
1) Arduino IDE
2) Proteus professional 8
ADVANTAGES:
1) It is one of the most economical and cost effective source of healthy drinking water.
2) The smart water vending system is operated in such a way that its saves both time and
cost.
APPLICATIONS:
1) This system can be used in industries for the identification of bulk objects for exporting
and importing.
2) RFID technology make the system smart automated vending of water is used in many
places such as public places such as: railway station, bus station, hospitals, colleges, etc.
RESULT:
By this project we are able to understand the concept of cashless transaction, the controlling
concepts using the sensors and feedback to the system plays a vital role in the project
