IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART RATION DISTRIBUTION AND CONTROLLING SYSTEM

electronics and telecommunication

This paper is all about automation in the field of Ration Distribution in India. We proposed a transparent and highly scalable Ration Distribution System with a more efficient and accurate system using SMART CARD and GSM. The existing ration distribution system has high level of corruption like inaccurate measurement of goods, large waiting time, and material theft in ration shop and manual distribution is not easy to handle crowd. Main objective of the designed system is to replace manual work with the atomization of ration shop to have a transparency in PDS. The proposed Ration Distribution System replaces conventional paper based Ration Card by SMART CARD. In this system customer makes use of a SMART CARD. Customer needs to scan the SMART CARD which is interfaced with the Microcontroller kept at Ration Shop. A Database is maintained to mainly store the user’s personal information like name of family members, their mobile number, aadhar card number, photo, etc. We insert the smart card into smart card reader. Then verification of customer is carried out. Once customer is verified, all related information appears on computer’s screen. Then the system asked the customer to select the material and quantity of material. An automated dispensary system is used for proper dispenser of goods. Accordingly the required goods are issued to the intended customer. GSM interfaced with Microcontroller sends information to the customer in the form of SMS.
