Automatic Ration Vending Machine Using RFID and GSM Techniques

Abstract

The ration card plays a key role in helping families access essential food supplies at subsidized rates. However, the traditional distribution process often faces problems such as incorrect quantity delivery, lack of monitoring, and misuse by intermediaries.  This work presents an automatic ration vending system that uses RFID for identifying users and GSM technology for communication. The system ensures that only eligible users can receive their allocated ration and that the quantity delivered is accurate. By reducing human involvement, the proposed system increases efficiency, transparency, and reliability in ration distribution.
