Edna’s Pasalubong is one of the popular pasalubong stores that sells different

snacks such as biscuits, nuts, chips, jellies, gummies, etc. in Pacita complex of San Pedro

City, Laguna. Their mission and vision are to serve and provide not only their best-selling

products but also the best food and snacks to offer to their customers.

Due to the current pandemic, alcohol and sanitizers are critical. Edna’s pasalubong

also provides alcohol or sanitizers in their store. However, this cannot suffice for the large

numbers of customers that visit their store to purchase this product.

This Coin-Operated Hand Sanitizer/Alcohol Refiller Vending Machine is a system

machine that offers budget-friendly alcohol where customers can select their desired

amount of alcohol in exchange of peso coin. This will help customers in Edna’s

Pasalubong to refill their sanitizer at an affordable price and in easy way

INTRODUCTION

PROJECT CONTEXT

One of the major problems today in society is sickness and viruses. Colds, flu, cough, and

sore throat are what we may call common, but now we face a pandemic called Covid19.

People are looking for the best way to protect themselves against these said virus. The

World Health Organization (WHO) has often reminded us that frequent handwashing

with soap can help us kill disease-causing germs thus preventing the disease itself

altogether. But not all the time do we have the soap to wash our hands like if we are in

the mall, or the market, or outside of our house. One of the solutions to this problem is to

bring a bottle of alcohol wherever you go, but studies have shown that alcohol, as

effective as it is in killing germs, can dry out skin. Then there came the rise of hand

sanitizers. Using hand sanitizer is an effective way of killing germs. It is an alternative to

handwashing with soap and water. But in this existing problem hand sanitizer or alcohol

is running out in every supermarket or in a boutique because it's very in demand. And

some people cannot afford to buy hand sanitizer. That is why researchers decided to create

a coin-operated hand sanitizer refill vending machine.

i
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Edna’s pasalubong is a store that sells different kinds of foods like sweet bread,

nuts, and etc. The mission and vision is to serve and provide the best retailer of

convenience for emerging markets. And to make daily life easier by providing modern

convenience.in fulfilling its goals. Edna’s Pasalubong is one of the popular pasalubong

stores that sells different snacks such as biscuits, nuts, chips, jellies, gummies, etc. in

Pacita complex of San Pedro City, Laguna. Their mission and vision are to serve and

provide not only their best-selling products but also the best food and snacks to offer to

their customers. Moreover, due to its popularity, the number of customers that visit

Edna’s pasalubong is increasing. More than 200 people per day visit and purchase food

products in their store. The explicit number of those customers is given below. Due to the

pandemic, Edna’s pasalubong provides alcohol or sanitizers for their customers.

However, this cannot suffice for the large numbers of customers that enter their store to

purchase their product. In this case, the proponents want to provide a coin-operated hand

sanitizer/alcohol refill vending machine to Edna’s Pasalubong Store in order for them to

provide retail alcohol to their customers. This Coin-Operated Hand Sanitizer/Alcohol

Refiller Vending Machine is a system machine that offers budget-friendly alcohol where

users or customers can select their desired amount of alcohol to refill. This will also help

the retail business not run out of alcohol or sanitizer.

PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION

Alcohol machines have as a goal to provide sanitary facilities to people, in public

locations, such as comfort rooms, public markets, etc. as we have an interest in security

nowadays and we must defend ourselves against COVID-19. We must clean ourselves,

particularly while we are in public areas, to avoid the spread of the infection. The alcohol

supplier is supplied through a system. The system offers choices on how many litres of

alcohol you need to receive, and the payment process can be done by dropping coins on

the alcohol supplier. The alcohol press is practical and easy to handle since the machine

does not need data or internet to manage it and automatically fills up the alcohol container

with just a click on the preferred amount, which is not just now but will also be useful in

the future because we never know when this pandemic will last.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

A. General problem

Because of the current epidemic, alcohol and sanitizers are critical. Many

supermarkets, convenience stores, and medicine stores are out of alcohol and sanitizer

and have no idea when they will be replenished. The majority of people who buy alcohol

and sanitizers do it on the cheap or at a low cost.

B. Specific problem

• Due to the actual observation of the proponents of the information

gathered, customers most need a retail and affordable sanitizer for the

small amount needed for all those people who find a poor rate of alcohol

and sanitizer.

iv
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

• Those people need to buy alcohol and sanitizers for a quick purchase, not

only at the market but also in the other store.

• Edna’s pasalubong stores do not have a bulk stock of alcohol to give the

essential quantity of consumers' purchases.

• Most of the customers choose the smallest amount of alcohol and sanitizer.

Maybe it's not in most but affordable to buy.

• Most of the owners have difficulty finding the suppliers if their alcohol is

out of stock.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

a. General Objectives

This study aims to solve the problem of running out of hand sanitizer in

supermarkets, malls, or boutiques. This study will help consumers to refill their sanitizer

at an affordable price and in easy ways. They don't need to go to markets or boutiques to

buy. The system is coin-operated to dispense alcohol sanitizer. The machine will be

charged a 5-peso coin per 5ml of sanitizer.

b. Specific Objectives

The main objectives of this study is

v
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

● To supply and to have an alcohol and sanitizer in Edna’s pasalubong store

Barangay Pacita 1, San Pedro City Laguna

● To help the customers who can’t afford to buy a litre of alcohol and sanitizer.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This research would be beneficial to Edna’s pasalubong stores of San Pedro City Laguna

that had troubles of running out of supply before the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also be

beneficial to the people who can’t afford to buy a liter of alcohol and sanitizer. The future

researchers can use this study as a reference to their future studies.

This study has been created to provide a small amount of alcohol and sanitizer for those

customers who cannot buy a wholesale product. This also follows that an individual may

use this plan and design system for future purposes.

To the Edna’s pasalubong owner

This study will help the store to offer affordable refillable hand sanitizer and

alcohol in a bottle.

Consumer

This project's design will be a very useful and affordable product, especially for

those consumers who need an everyday alcohol and sanitizer to keep their cleanliness and

avoid viruses during this pandemic. In addition to purchasing a small amount of alcohol

2.1.6 How the project will work
In this phase, the problem is defined based on the actual observations of the

proponents. They came up with the study to provide a solution to the existing problem,

such as consumers buying sanitizers. There are times when people do not think to buy a
xv
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

sanitizer despite the fact that it is necessary, especially in today's situation, due to the fact

that its price is high for some buyers, regardless of the sanitizer's size.

For this reason, the proponents decided to create a system entitled "COIN OPERATED

ALCOHOL VENDING MACHINE." This is to provide vending machine sanitizers for

buyers who want sanitizers at an affordable price. It is a coin-based vending machine

where buyers can use the machine to refill their bottles. In the second phase, the

proponents conducted a survey about the difficulties of buying a sanitizer and also

investigated other problems associated with it, as well as evaluating an alternative solution

to that certain problem. On the other hand, for the third phase, the proponents plan to

create the design of the study and create a system that can help to solve this problem.

2.2 Local Related Conceptual Literature

2.2.1 COIN-OPERATED COFFEE VENDING MACHINE Pinili, Ellen Gold B.

Ponce, Mary Rosechelle S. (2003)

Nowadays, automated machines are in demand because they make numerous

activities not only easier but also more efficient. These machines require minimal human

intervention to do their job. A vending machine is one of these automated machines which

make people’s lives more convenient.

These vending machines have made their mark on the market. From sanitary supplies to

beverages, vending machines have gained their throne as one of the sales strategies in the

business world. Starting their operation using conventional mechanical controls, vending

machines have employed electronic components to add more functional features to them

and to increase the accuracy of their system operation.

This study focuses on the design and implementation of a Coin-Operated Coffee

Vending Machine that can dispense different mixtures of hot coffee through dropping a

specified number of five-peso coins in a coin slot. These mixtures are categorized as black

coffee, sweetened black coffee and sweetened coffee with creamer, each of which comes

in different prices. The machine accepts five-peso coins and will not accept any other type

xvii
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

of coins. Once the coin/coins have been dropped, the machine automatically dispenses the

right mixture.

The Coin-Operated Coffee Vending Machine will cater the needs of the customers

with no further human intervention required. The machine is user-friendly and is very

simple to operate. The customers will only have to deal with the number of five-peso coins

to be dropped into the machine, which will correspond to the amount of hot coffee to be

dispensed. With this innovation, labor costs will be minimized, and it will also give

entrepreneurs the opportunity to attract more customers.

2.2.2 Design and Implementation of Paper Vending Machine for Retail of Common

Usable Papers for Unstop Students Erich P. Abad1

Today’s modern business is all about process automation. This automation is

simply the integration of software and machines; from simple to complex automation, it

is a strategy aimed at increased profits, ease of management, and varied multitasking.

Vending machines are one example of an automation business process in which it utilizes

meager supervision of the user. There are a lot of varieties and forms of automation using

vending machines.

The photocopy/printing shop here at the University of Science and Technology

of the Southern Philippines offers diverse services to its clientele. Primarily, it offers

document photocopying and printing services. But somehow, with the owner’s business

xviii
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

innovativeness, it also offers the sale of commodities such as candies, sliced fruits, papers

(bond papers, newsprint, and yellow paper) and so much more. With a minimum of one

to two people manning the shop, it caters to a whole lot of students on the campus. Among

the commodities offered that are considered very stressful and painstaking in serving their

plentiful clientele are the retail of common papers, short/long/A4 bond papers, newsprints,

and yellow papers. These papers are usually used as answer sheets by the students in the

exams. The cost per piece of paper is Php 1.00. This project aims to develop and

implement automated piece-by-piece retail of common papers. This vending machine will

dispense short/long/A4 bond papers, newsprints and yellow papers. This machine utilizes

a coin-slot to accommodate Php 1.00, Php 5.00, and P10.00 coins. The buyer will simply

select the type of paper and insert the coin/s. This machine will not dispense change in

amount.

2.3.1 Design of Automatic Hand Sanitizer System Compatible with Various

Juhui Lee, Jin-Young Lee, Sung-Min Cho, Ki-Cheol Yoon, Young Jae Kim, and
Kwang Gi Kim (31, July 2020)

Hand sanitizers are usually applied by squirting the sanitizer liquid when one

presses a pump with one's hand. This causes many people to come into contact with the
xix
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

pump handle, which increases the risk of viral transmission. Some users may think that it

is a hassle to re-use sanitize their hands, so they pour other products into previously used

containers and reuse them. It is not economical and it has a negative impact on the

environment by increasing waste emissions.

Automatic hand sanitizer system that is compatible with various containers. With

the proposed device, it is possible to avoid many people coming into contact with the

pump handle, thus preventing fomite viral transmission. It is economical and eco-friendly

by decreasing waste emissions. The device is ultimately expected to contribute to

contactless hand disinfection and virus infection prevention.

2.3.2 A Novel Automatic Sanitizer Dispenser Rakshith L., Dr. K B Shiva Kumar

(2020)

The hand sanitizer is an exceptional bit of late innovation from the 19th century

and was developed during the 1960s, but became popular in the 1990s. In this current

pandemic it is exhorted by WHO (world health organization) to keep up the healthy

sanitizing habits, yet the manner in which we do it, that is, by the physical touch to the

container which doesn't fulfill the purpose.

The Ultrasonic sensor has an echo and trig pins which are receiver and transmitter

respectively, by the algorithms the sensor is adjusted to get trigger within the particular

distance, when the hand is placed in the required distance, the sensor send the signals to

xx
 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

the Arduino Nano then the Arduino sends signal to the 5V relay board, which is triggered

and activate the motor to pump sanitize

2.3.3 Hand hygiene behavior in a pediatric emergency department and a pediatric

intensive care unit: comparison of use of two dispenser system Larson, E. L.,

Albrecht, S., O'Keefe, M (2005)

Unwashed hands of healthcare workers often become reservoirs of infectious

pathogens and serve as media for pathogen transmission. Hand hygiene is considered as

the single most important approach for preventing nosocomial infections. However, the

compliance rates of hand hygiene in healthcare workers are typically low. Multiple

factors, such as the fragrance of hand hygiene products and the location of sinks and

dispensers, may impact hand hygiene compliance rate.

Environmental design may help to increase hand hygiene compliance rate. One

design intervention is a type of alcohol-based gel sanitizer dispenser that was battery-

operated and touch free. Healthcare workers may be more willing to use the touch-free

dispensers because these dispensers are more convenient to use and associated with lower

risk of transmitting pathogens through touching contaminated dispenser switches.

 SAN PEDRO CITY POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, ATMECE, MYSURU

(2017) Coin Operated Water Dispensing System as the name indicates it is based on COIN

operation. It has been specially designed for use on Railway station, Bus deposes, public

places etc. This system is based on microcontroller. The inputs to the microcontroller are

coin and output in the form of water. Looking at the specifications required for Water

Dispensing System and for simplicity of our application, microcontroller was found to be

best suited. Now-a-days, automated vending machines are most in use as they make

various activities not only easier but also more efficient. The machine has numerous input

and outputs to provide service to the customer. This machine is similar to vending

machine. It is coin operated machine. It accepts only coins as input like Rs.1 in any

sequence and delivers drinking water. The main motto of this system is to avoid the

environmental pollution and also to avoid the wastage of water with the help of water

control valve. We know that the available water resources have initiated towards the end.

This problem is quietly related to poor water allocation, inefficient use, and lack of

adequate and integrated water management. Since last few decades, several monitoring

systems integrated with water level detection have been accepted; therefore, water

controlling system implementations have potential significance in the society. Vending

machine is going to be developed in such a way that water will get served to the customers.

As it is coin operated machine, the required quantity of water and respective amount of

money is decided that are affordable for common people

preceding stage. Advantages of the spiral model, The spiral model is a systems

development lifecycle (SDLC) method used for risk management that combines the

iterative development process model with elements of the Waterfall model. The spiral

model is used by software engineers and is favored for large, expensive and complicated

projects. The spiral model is perfect for projects that are large and complex in nature as

continuous prototyping and evaluation help in mitigating any risk. Because of its risk

handling ability, the model is best suited for projects which are very critical like software

related to the health domain, space exploration, etc.

This model supports the client feedback and implementation of change requests

(CRs) which is not possible in conventional models like a waterfall. Since customer gets

to see a prototype in each phase, so there are higher chances of customer satisfaction. .

Development leads to operation and maintenance, from concept through design,

execution, testing, installation, and troubleshooting. There are no overlapping or repeated

processes in each phase of development. Additional data is acquired or generated

throughout each stage, then integrated with the inputs to create the stage deliverable.
