Abstract Show Abstract

In recent years, various vending machines have been developed to dispense a range of products, including beverages, chocolates, and medications. Despite these advancements, access to first aid kits remains limited in public spaces such as stations and schools. This paper proposes the implementation of a solar-powered, RFID-based vending machine designed to provide essential first aid supplies and stationary items. The system integrates an Arduino Uno microcontroller and an RFID reader for secure and automated dispensing. The proposed machine aims to enhance accessibility and efficiency while leveraging renewable energy sources. Recent developments indicate a transition towards automatic and solar-powered vending systems, reducing manual intervention and increasing energy efficiency (Kumar et al., 2020)
