The primary objective of this project was to design and prototype a vending
cart equipped with IoT capabilities and a cold storage system. The goal was to
create a mobile vending solution that ensures optimal temperature control for
food safety while integrating modern IoT technology for enhanced usability and
monitoring.
Project Overview
This project involved the design and development of a vending cart incorporat-
ing sensors, microcontrollers, and communication modules for IoT connectivity.
The cold storage system was engineered to maintain food products at safe tem-
peratures, crucial for preserving the quality of perishable items.
Key Features
• IoT Integration: Real-time monitoring of temperature and stock levels,
with alerts for deviations from set parameters.
• Cold Storage System: A refrigeration unit powered by a battery to
keep food items fresh, controlled via the IoT system.
• Energy Efficiency: Designed to be energy-efficient, using low-power
components and optimized refrigeration cycles.
• User Interface: A user-friendly interface allowing vendors to monitor
and control the cart remotely via a mobile app.
