Artificial Intelligence-Based IoT Clustered Smart Vending Machine

Abstract

Vending machines are a vital part of normal people’s everyday life in countries like Japan or the USA. India is lacking in the use of effective methodologies in vending machine space. The smart vending machine is designed to work ambiently with IoT hardware and the proprietary design architecture of the physical machine. This vending machine is designed to reduce the mechanical complications present in the current machinery and use technically advanced systems based on IoT; which will help in remotely interfacing with the machine as well as intelligently compiling the data which our artificial intelligence system interprets, giving us predictions for customers as well as the vendor. The machine will be connected to the cloud, responsible for comprehensive data collection and processing. Our system will be having a cluster of vending machines that will be interconnected to each other. The singular vendor can view the data generated by all these machines on a single console and will be able to control and monitor the aspects such as product management, machine state check, and many more from the console itself. The machine will not be having any physical interface for users, and we have designed an utterly end-to-end architecture for this system which will revolutionize the vending machine space in the industry.
