The document describes an electronics project to automate the Public Distribution System (PDS) rationing process. A team of three students - Anitha, Prenith, and Nancy - are developing a system using technological innovations to simplify procedures, increase transparency, and prevent malpractices. Their proposed system will use fingerprint authentication, a touchscreen interface, and an ESP32 microcontroller to automatically dispense and record food grain distributions from vending machines based on a customer's verified request. All transactions and payments will be digitally recorded and reflected in the cloud database in real-time.

Topic: PDS AUTOMATION SYSTEM
TEAM: Anitha – 20cs6h1009

2. PDS SYSTEM
Making the PDS process seamless and corruption free, from the
planning to distribution of food stocks to right beneficiaries.
• Technological innovations and business process reengineering aided with human capacity
development have been instrumental in simplifying procedures, ushering in transparency of
operations, weeding out malpractices and developing a near real time reporting mechanism for field-
level operations across the supply chain. Major overhauling of the Public Distribution System by the
State government has enabled the vulnerable to access subsidized food grains at their doorsteps.

3. AUTOMATIC
RATION SHOP ..
India is home to thousands of public distribution
system (Ration Shop). Although it is a good initiative
by government , the people incharge many times
indulge in fraudulent activity.Our project aims to
irradiate this is automating and digitising the entire
process…

4. FLOW CHART OF OUR PROJECT
1.All the details of the Ration card holders details and provision information will be
stored in cloud database with their corresponding biometrics.
2.Once the users scans his FP, the data from cloud will be displayed through MCU
3.Now the display acts as input , the input details are given to MCU to open solid and
liquid valves.
4.Once dispensing is done the the result is displayed in the display and in cloud

5. • In this system, each customer is provided with a smart card, which is to be
used along with fingerprint for their authentication. After successful
authentication, the consumers can provide their requirements using a
touchscreen interface.
• The dispensing of the food grains through vending machines will take place
automatically with the operation of motors and valves controlled by a micro-
controller, after verification of the requirements provided by the user.
• The same transaction will be reflected immediately in the database along with
a message to the customer. All the payments are also handled in a digital
mode.
