Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest a practical implementation for developing an Internet of Things (IoT) vending machine system. Additionally, we present a novel method for mobile proximity payment at unattended point of sale. The fundamental concept involves creating a virtual version of a vending machine on the Internet and enabling complete contactless product ordering from a smartphone, so no physical interaction with the machine is required. Our method ensures that the customer is near the vending machine at the time of the transaction and product dispensing. Key elements include ubiquitous connectivity, open innovation, and pervasive technologies. The ultimate objective is to reduce the pressure for vending operators while improving the shopping experience for customers, increasing desire for the widespread use of theInternet of vending machines; On the other hand, our Smart Vending Machine streamlines the purchasing procedure by requiring consumers to simply scan their RFID cards to complete a transaction. This reduces the need for currency and improves security, which lowers the possibility of fraud or theft. Furthermore, this project goes above and beyond by connecting withan Android app-based mobile wallet in a seamless manner. To further encourage cashless transactions and user convenience, users can link their mobile wallets to the vending machine. Payment is then instantly debited when they scan their RFID card to select a product.
