Distribution of Rationing using Automation like RFID and GSM Technology

Abstract

Ration Card is very important for govt to keep log and other information about people. It is also useful for people to get govt subsidy, gas connection and even useful for residential proof. It has detail about every member in family. All the people use ration card to buy various things from ration shop like groceries,oil, kerosene. This system helps people to get this supplies at low price directly from government. This system has some drawbacks like the most of work is done by old or traditional instruments and mostly its manual work which gives many errors in measurement , and if people fail to buy their monthly subsidy then these shopkeepers sell this to other people at higher price and make money. All this happens because there is no centralized technical database for this information. The loss in this process is of people and govt who don’t have any idea about all this. Our main objective here is to make this process automatic .In this paper, proposed an Automatic Ration Materials Distribution Based on GSM (Global System for Mobile) and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology instead of ration cards. When people come to ration shop they have to scan their RFID card,these cards are magnetic and has information of the beneficiary . After scanning card it is verified through database to see if it is valid or not . Whenever the user logins in system they send an otp to registered number for security purpose. If its valid then the beneficiary selects material and quantity . After receiving these material the customer pays for it. In this way we can create transparency in this process.
