PROJECT ABSTRACT
The hobbyist community always faces a time drag during a project lifetime. This may be due to lack of component availability, faulty hardware or ease of access. A convenient solution would be to setup a machine that can eliminate such drawbacks. This project aims to design and fabricate a 24x7 electronic component lending machine, consisting of a web application for students. The proposed vending machine should be capable of dispensing components at any time of the day with user convenient features such as booking of components online, returning of products after use and easy user interface.
The type of component distribution system of the machine was chosen, considering the motion sequence. After mechanism synthesis, suitable electronic control drivers and auxiliary devices were decided. For the web-based inventory management, a back-end and a user interface were designed and developed in the website which is also available as a web application. The available stock information and booking management are all set to be done through this application. The users will be able to access the machine with a unique identification code given during the signup on the website. This machine thus provides a convenient means for accessing a component without any hassle.
OBJECTIVE
