Abstract— Now a day ration card is very important for
every home and used for various field such as family
members details, to get gas connection, it act as address
proof for various purposes etc. All the people having a
ration card to buy the various materials (sugar, rice, oil,
kerosene, etc) from the ration shops. But in this system
having two draw backs, first one is weight of the
material may be inaccurate due to human mistakes and
secondly, if not buy the materials at the end of the
month, they will sale to others without any intimation
to the government and customers. In this paper,
proposed an Automatic Rat ion Materials Distribution
Based on GSM (Global System for Mobile) and RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) technology instead of
ration cards. To get the materials in rat ion shops need
to show the RFID tag into the RFID reader, then
controller check the customer codes and details of
amounts in the card. After verification, these systems
show the amount details. Then customer need to enter
they required materials by using keyboard, after
receiving materials controller send the informat ion to
government office and customer through GSM
technology. In this system provides the materials
automatically without help of humans.

I. Introduction
The most of the people having a ration card to buy
the materials from the ration shops. When get the
material from the rat io shop, first need to submit the
ration card and they will put the sign in the ratio card
depends on the materials. Then they will issue the
materials through weighting system with help o f human.
But in this system having two draw backs, first one is
weight of the material may be inaccurate due to human
mistakes and secondly, if not buy the materials at the
end of the month, they will sale to others without any
intimation to the government and customers. In this
paper, we have proposed an Automatic Ration
Materials Distribution Based on GSM and RFID
Technology to avoid the drawbacks. Today we are
facing a number o f transport related problems. RFID
technology effectively used to solve some of them.
RFID is act as ratio card and other purpose such as RC
book, insurance details, service details etc. GSM
used to communicate the information between the two
people or more than two persons to update the
information depends on the requirements.
Radio-frequency identificat ion (RFID) based access -
control system allows only authorized or responsible
persons to get the materials from ration shops. An
RFID system consists of an antenna or coil, a
transceiver (with decoder) and a transponder (RF tag)
electronically programmed with unique informat ion.
There are many types of RFID systems available in the
market. RFID classified based on their frequency
ranges. Some of the most commonly used RFID kits are
low-frequency (30-500 kHz), mid-frequency (900 kHz-
1500MHz) and high-frequency (2.4-2.5GHz)[1]. The
passive tags are lighter and less expensive than active
tags [2].
Global system for mobile communicat ion (GSM) is a
globally accepted standard for digital cellular
communicat ion. GSM is a common European mobile
telephone standard for a mobile cellular radio system
operating at 900 MHz. In the current work, SIM300
GSM module is used. The SIM300 module is a Triband
GSM/GPRS solution in a compact plug in module
featuring an industry-standard interface. It delivers
voice, data and fax in a small form factor with low
power consumption [3, 4].
In this paper, we have designed and implemented an
Automatic Ration Materials Distribution Based on

GSM and RFID Technology. In this system, only
authentic person can be recovered ration materials from
ration shops based on the amount availab le in the RFID.

conclusion in section IV & V respectively.
II. Related Works
Today mobile phone is one of the most important
devices for every one that is used in communication
purpose and used in embedded system to control the
devices. In [5], the RFID based Bill Generat ion and
Payment through Mobile system is implemented. In this
paper, the bill generating in super market using RFID
technology and payment through mobile phone. Mobile
payments will become one of the most important
mobile services. The most essential consideration is the
security of the mobile devices and the applications
along with the complexity of imbursement process.
Advantages of this system, i) Increased consumer
confidence, leading to increased sales. ii) Benefit for
both consumers and merchants.
The RFID (Radio Frequency Identificat ion) emerges
as one of the converging technologies and
transportation plays a vital role in urbanization. RFID
plays major role in auto ID applications like RFID
contact less smart cards used by bus riders, in Super
market, Text iles and logistics chain management. In [6],
the RFID Based Embedded System for Vehicle
Tracking and Prevention of Road Accidents system is
designed and implemented. Th is system is may be to
reduce the road accident in Indian roads.
In [7], the RFID Based Exam Hall Maintenance
System presents an efficient method of examination
hall management. Th is system is possible for a student
to identify the particular exam hall from any other hall,
when they swipe RFID card in a card reader located
there. This helps them to identify the floor or get
directions to their respective halls immediately. The
card reader is provided at the entrance of the build ing,
if the students enters wrongly a buzzer alarm sets off,
otherwise the room number is displayed on the LCD,
connected to controller. RFID technology is emergent
technology that can be used in wide range of
applications.
In today’s, power saving are very important and
difficult. Even though there are many power generation
methods available, but it has become very difficult to
generate the power due to insufficient resources. Power
saving is necessary for our society, [8] this paper
discussed about the power saved in the streetlights. The
key objective is to control the streetlights using Dual
Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF). If any over load occurs,
the connection disconnected and the information
transferred to EB through Global System for Mobile
communicat ion (GSM). If it is any complaint by the
consumers, they can send the informat ion to EB
through Radio Frequency Identificat ion (RFID) Reader,
which is fixed in one of the street light posts and the tag
provided to the all consumers. The messages send to
EB server through GSM. Advantage of this system,
power consumption is very less, power failure period
reduced.

3.4 GSM and RFID Circuit
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identifications .
The RFID is small electronic device that consist of a
small ch ip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable
of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less. A significant
advantage of RFID devices above the others devices,
RFID device does not require to positioned precisely
relative to the scanner. The RFID devices will work
within a few feet (up to 20 feet for high-frequency
devices) of the scanner. The RFID tag used to read
informat ion about the customer through RFID Reader.
The GSM used to send the SMS to the customer as well
as government authorized person for the verificat ion.
The circuit diagram of RFID and GSM is shown in the
Fig. 4.

3.5 LCD Display
A liquid -crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel
display, electronic v isual display, or v ideo display that
uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals.
Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.
The LCD is used in a wide range of applicat ions
including computer monitors, telev isions,
instrument, aircraft cockpit d isplays, and signage. The
most common in consumer devices such as video
players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators,
and telephones, and have replaced cathode ray
tube (CRT) d isplays in most applications. The LCD
screen is more energy efficient than a CRT. The power
consumption is very low while compare with other
devices. The LCD circuit d iagram is shown in the Fig.
5.

3.7 Relay with Solenoid Valve
A solenoid value is an electromechanically operated
valve. The valve is controlled by an electric
current through a solenoid, in the two-port valve the
flow is switched on or off, in the three-port valve, the
outflow is switched between the two outlet ports.
Multiple solenoid valves can be placed together on
a manifo ld. So lenoid valves are the most frequently
used control elements in fluid ics. Their tasks are to shut
off, release, dose, distribute or mix fluids. They are
found in many application areas. So lenoids offer fast
and safe switching, high reliab ility, long service life,
good medium compatibility of the materials used, low
control power and compact design. The circuit diagram
of the solenoid valve is shown in the Fig. 7.

IV. Result and discussion
The Automatic Rat ion Materials Distribution Based
on GSM and RFID Technology used to distribute or
vend the liquid or solid material, which is used for
Ration materials distribution in ration shops. Initially
everyone will be provided an RFID or s mart Card,
instead of a ration card. If the customer needs to get any
ration material, the user has to show the ration RFID
tag card to the RFID reader Kit, the reader that is
incorporated with the project kit will recognize the
RFID numbers show by the user. Each user will have a
unique number, which is not visible to the user.
This recognized RFID number will be given to a
microcontroller, which compared the input number
with the database. Before starting the system, the
unique RFID number of the ration user will be
programmed in the controller, such as User name &
address details, date of exp ire of ration card, etc., so
that the controller will recognize the data coming from
RFID by comparing with the database.
Once the user is identified, the microcontroller will
check whether the user has already bought the ration
item belongs to that month. If not then, ration items to
be dispensed will be d isplayed on the LCD screen, the
user has to feed the comments that which rat ion item he
is going to buy. If the user, select the ration item for
purchasing purposes then the controller will calculate
the amount of his or her buy and check with the amount
available in the RFID card. If he or she has sufficient
amount to buy then the micro controller will start the
solenoid and motor mechanis m to dispense the selected
ration item. As the dispensing process is going on
simultaneously in the controller will send a command
to GSM Modem, to send the text SMS to the user about
the ration item, he or she purchased. Before starting the
process the amount of the item to be dispensed has to
be calibrated separately then the only controller will
dispense the correct quantity of ration item selected.

V. Conclusion
In this paper, we have implemented and tested an
Automatic Ration Materials Distribution Based on
GSM and RFID technology instead of ration cards. But
in the existing system having two draw backs, first one
is weight of the material may be inaccurate due to
human mistakes and secondly, if not buy the materials
at end of the month, they will sale to others without any
intimation to the government and customers. The above
drawbacks rectified by this method. In this system,
ration Materials (sugar, rice, oil, kerosene, etc)
distributed through automatic mechanism without any
help of humans. After receiving the materials,
controller sends the information to government office
and customer through GSM technology. This system is
very accurate, simple and low power consumption,
which is used for the real time applications.
