Smart Ration Distribution System

Abstract

The Smart Ration Distribution System (SRDS) represents an innovative approach to enhancing the transparency, efficiency, and accessibility of public ration distribution. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and real-time data analysis, the SRDS enables the fair and effective allocation of essential goods without depending on traditional RFID or GSM methods. The system employs smart ration cards connected to a centralized database, providing real-time tracking of entitlements, consumption patterns, and stock levels. At distribution points and storage facilities, sensors are installed to automate stock monitoring, ensuring timely replenishment and minimizing the risk of shortages. The inclusion of data analytics further allows for the detection of discrepancies, reducing fraudulent practices, and improving system transparency. A user-friendly platform empowers beneficiaries to check their entitlements and ration status while offering a quick resolution mechanism for grievances. By automating processes and eliminating intermediaries, SRDS improves the efficiency of ration distribution, reduces delays, and guarantees that essential goods reach those who need them fairly and without hindrance.
