In modern vending machines, heavy items cannot be stacked because the item falls from a higher level into a lower compartment. There are two problems in the current market, one is the Single axis movement which makes it difficult to hold delicately packed food items and the other one is the Collection Bin which at the bottom of the machine makes it difficult for elderly people to bend down and pick the product. The product vending machine which is now been developed eliminates the problem of the product falling from a higher level as this machine has both X and Y axis movements. The delivery bin moves near the item which is selected by the user and delivers it safely. In the near future cashless transaction methods can include Paytm, Debit card/Credit card transactions etc. The display used here is an LCD display and there can be improvements in the future by replacing the LCD display with a touch screen display. Android apps can also be used for the transaction. Voice recognition technology can also prove to be a big breakthrough in the field of vending machines. The machine is designed to provide a more efficient and convenient way of purchasing food items without the need for human intervention. The system utilizes various sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors and load cells, to detect the presence of products inside the machine and the number of products dispensed.
