1.INTRODUCTION Vending machines have been around for many years, but they are still a popular way to purchase food and drinks. However, traditional vending machines have a number of limitations. For example, they can only accept cash payments, and they can be difficult to restock.
Smart vending machines using IoT address these limitations
Fig 1. Block Diagram by offering a more convenient, secure, and efficient vending machine experience for both customers and operators. 2.1 Hardware Smart vending machines use IoT sensors to collect data about the machine, such as inventory levels, temperature, 2.1.1 Raspberry Pi 3 Board and machine status. This data is then sent to the cloud, where it can be analyzed by vending machine operators. Pi is a credit-card sized computer that connects to a Vending machine operators can use the data collected from computer monitor TV and uses input devices like keyboard
and mouse. It is capable of performing various 2.1.2 RFID
functionalities such as surveillance system, military applications, surfing internet, playing high-definition videos, RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification, and an RFID live games and to make data bases. Raspberry Pi is the main tag is a small device that uses radio waves to store and controller in our project which gathers data from the input transmit data. RFID tags consist of a microchip and an modules and transmits it to the output modules. antenna. They are used for various purposes, including tracking and identifying objects, animals, or people.

A level sensor is a device used to detect and measure the
level of a substance, usually a liquid or granular material, in a container or a specific location. Level sensors are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications to monitor and control the amount of a substance in a tank, silo, or other storage vessel. There are various types of level sensors, each with its own principles of operation and suitable applications.
This provides significantly faster performance for
applications that make heavy use of floating-point arithmetic operations. All other applications will also gain some performance through the use of advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU in Raspberry Pi. Although Raspbian is primarily the efforts of Mike Thompson (MP Thompson) and Peter Green (plug wash), it has also benefited greatly from the enthusiastic support of Raspberry Pi. 2.1.5 DC Motor
A DC Motor is an electric motor that runs on direct current
power. In any electric motor, operation is dependent upon simple electromagnetism. A current carrying conductor generates a magnetic field, when this then placed in an external magnetic field it will encounter a force proportional to current in the conductor and to strength of external magnetic field. A DC Motor provide excellent speed control for acceleration and deceleration. It is easy to understand, simple and has cheap drive design. 2.2.2 Open CV Specifications: Open CV (Open-Source Computer Vision) is a library of Standard 130 Type DC motor programming functions mainly aimed at real- time computer vision originally developed by Intel. The library is cross Operating Voltage 4.5V to 9V platform and free for use under the open-source BSD license Recommended/Rated 6V OpenCV supports deep learning frameworks TensorFlow, Voltage Torch/PyTorch and Cafe. Current at No load 70mA (max) No-load Speed 9000 rpm Loaded current 250mA Motor Size 27.5mm x 20mm x 15mm Weight 17 grams
