Abstract

Vending Machines are automated machines that dispense selling products such as snacks, beverages, lottery tickets, and etc. It is vital to save time and reduce human energy. These vending machines are developed in the way of Non IoT based and IoT based methods. These Non IoT based machines are not smart and are not operated in real-time data, which are functioned when giving cash or card and inputs (vending things) of the machine. It is controlled by a microcontroller and distributed the given inputs. IoT- based machines are computerized, which have cashless payment facilities, order facility before going to the vending machine to order things, and can be identified the location of machines by the customer. These IoT-based machines are assisted to suppliers to identify the availability of the stocks. Simulation software and prototype are used to validate the machines. In this review, it is found that most of the vending machines developed are capable of operating without IoT technology, and nowadays, vending machine systems are required to implement using IoT with machine learning, and artificial technologies to satisfy the customer preferences.
