The Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced significant growth in recent years, leading to the
development of numerous socially impactful systems and applications that enhance our quality of life.
Printing services are crucial in places like libraries, internet cafes, and business centres, serving
individuals and organizations. As digital documents grow and on-demand printing rises, there's a need
for a simpler, cheaper solution.
Sasikala, G., Kuldipsing R., Sarfaraj H., Aastha S. introduces a coin-operated vending machine
designed to provide drinking water services. It accepts coins of Rs. 1, Rs. 2, and Rs. 5 in any sequence,
utilizing an optical mouse sensor for coin discrimination. The control system is microcontroller-based,
with an LCD display for indicating water quantity. Specifically, it employs the Microcontroller AT89C51,
coin discriminator, and LCD display. The front panel, where the machine model is placed, houses
essential components such as the coin discriminator, LCD.
Gaur, A., Mathuria, D., & Priyadarshini, R. design a reverse vending machine (RVM) to effectively
manage waste by incentivizing recycling. It accepts plastic items and rewards users with coins based on
the weight of the plastic material. Coins are dispensed according to the weight range of the plastic items,
with sensors determining the weight of the items, specifically plastic items, up to a maximum capacity of
1 kg. Additionally, the RVM incorporates coin and bill exchange mechanisms for processing waste
transactions efficiently.
Dijaya, R., Suprayitno, E. A., & Wicaksono, A. developed a system integrates IoT technology,
facilitating connectivity and data exchange between vending machines and a central server. It records
real-time data, encompassing button presses on the vending machine, snack food product quantities,
and cash transactions. Additionally, it supports mobile applications for real-time monitoring of sales,
stock levels, and financial data. The payment method includes bill and coin acceptors, enhancing
convenience for users. Sensors are also utilized to ensure accurate data collection.
Ho, R. C. C. L., Zulkipli, M., & Shaari, M. F. developed the low-cost coin acceptor design
incorporates several key features to facilitate efficient coin processing in vending machines. It includes a
coin introduction chute for accepting coins or tokens, a coin sensing gate equipped with various sensors
for validation, a metal sensor for detecting coin composition, a flipper mechanism actuated by a solenoid
to accept or reject coins, a proximity sensor for counting accepted coins, and a rejection hole for
automatically rejecting coins smaller than 25mm in diameter. These components are integrated with an
Arduino Uno circuit board for control and programming, ensuring seamless operation and reliable
functionality of the coin acceptor system.
Sethuraman, S. C., Mitra, A., Li, K. C., Ghosh, A., Gopinath, M., & Sukhija, N, introduces Loki, a
novel physical lock designed to enhance the security of physical assets. This innovative solution
addresses the growing need for robust protection against theft and tampering. Loki supports remote
device locking and management functionalities, allowing users to secure their assets even in the event of
key loss or theft. This capability enhances the overall security posture of the locking system.
