Inventory Dispensing System

Project information

  • Designed and implemented a modular, RFID-enabled smart storage bin with real-time inventory tracking and weight measurement.
  • Developed a load-cell based system for weight tracking and inventory management across modular compartments, with EEPROM storage for calibration, tare offset, and compartment configuration data.
  • Integrated solenoid-based locking and secure data transmission protocols for centralized inventory monitoring.
  • Created a custom Arduino-based pin convention for compartment and load cell connections to maximize available GPIO usage and streamline sensor integration.
  • Established calibration and dispensing protocols for seamless interaction, including I2C communication between Raspberry Pi and Arduino, noise reduction via averaged readings, and RFID user authentication.
  • Configured a sleep mode protocol with periodic connection checks and error handling to ensure system robustness.
