Abstract – Our project, the Smart Sanitary Napkins vending machine, is an innovative solution that combines the functionalities of dispensing sanitary pads and medicines while incorporating advanced features for user convenience. Utilizing Arduino, LCD display, keypad, RFID technology, DC motor, and Node MCU, we've developed a robust system that enhances accessibility and usability. At its core, our vending machine boasts a user-friendly interface, featuring an LCD display and keypad for seamless interaction. Users can easily navigate through the menu to select and purchase either sanitary pads or medicines according to their specific needs. The integration of RFID technology ensures secure user authentication, granting access only to authorized individuals. The dispensing mechanism is driven by a precise DC motor, guaranteeing accurate and controlled distribution of sanitary pads and medicines. Additionally, we've incorporated a disposal unit to promote environmental sustainability by facilitating proper disposal of used sanitary pads.
