The Vending Machine with Intelligent and Interactive features

Smart devices always remain in demand and introducing new technology not only help customers, but also the industries to boost up their sales. The same is done by SIA Interactive that demonstrated the coke machine with social networking feature, launched last year. The coke vending machine is powered by Intel core i7 processor enabled with a touch-enabled screen, Wi-Fi and Near Field Communications (NFC).

How it works:

- The machine has a huge touch screen display from which a user can choose the soft drink from the list and can pay with cash or by mobile. To use voucher, it has QR code reader too. The most amazing of this vending machine is that it has been installed with 1080p camera that clicks your picture and with internet connectivity  it lets you share the picture on social networking site in just a few clicks. It also allows companies to hold promotions, other marketing actions and it supports movement recognition devices, Bluetooth and webcam.

The company gets to see all the people using their machine – and could analyze this information to understand their market demographics better to target more sales and customers. This vending machine is still under test so that all functions can work properly before it is used commercially. The company has to deal with the privacy issues as it records the user data to push the customized ads to customers. The IVM interacts smartly with consumers of all ages at the point of purchase, and allows the brand to show different content, adapting the communication, marketing and advertising strategy to the target or specific product. It features an LCD multitouch screen with sound, animation and high-def videos.

  1. I Like to add one more important thing here, The Vending Machine Market is expected to be around US$ 68.65 Billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 9.96% in the given forecast period.

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

How to Switch OFF Citizen Calculator

You might be confused on seeing no OFF button on your calculator. Actually, these are general calculator available at low cost in the market. They process simple calculations like division, subtraction, Addition, Multiplication. But, how will you OFF that calculator having no option on them. There is always a trick which OFF them. It depends on the company calculator and their series to which they belong. I can tell you about Citizen Calculator CT-500 (as you can see in the image), how can you switch OFF it and can save battery too. If you leave calculator idle for 6-7 minutes, it will goes OFF automatically. My calculator goes OFF in 6.50 minutes from the point of leaving it idle. But, this is not the power saving trick for these types of calculator having not much backup battery. To save the power of your normal calculator, here is the trick to switch OFF it. Press ' /(divide sign)', 'x(multiply sign)', '%(percentage sign)', 'autoreplay option(...
