The Automated Umbrella Rental System is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution developed to provide users with quick and convenient access to umbrellas during unexpected weather conditions. The system automates the rental and return process through RFID authentication while maintaining real-time inventory updates using a centralized database.
This project was designed to eliminate the inconvenience of manually managing umbrella rentals. By combining RFID technology, sensors, and a web-based management system, users can easily rent and return umbrellas while administrators monitor inventory in real time.
One of the biggest challenges during development was synchronizing the RFID authentication system with the centralized database while maintaining real-time inventory updates. Through extensive testing and debugging, the communication between hardware and web system was optimized for reliable performance.
The system successfully demonstrates how IoT can automate public utility services, improving efficiency, reducing manual processes, and enhancing user convenience.
