Summary, etc. Access to staple food such as rice must be convenient, hygienic, and accurate; however,<br/>traditional rice retailing methods rely heavily on manual dispensing and handling, which<br/>often lead to measurement inaccuracies, contamination risks, and operational<br/>inefficiencies. This study addresses the research gap in automated, small-scale rice<br/>distribution systems by designing and developing an automated rice vending machine that<br/>ensures precise dispensing, reliable payment processing, and real-time inventory<br/>monitoring. The primary objective of the study is to improve accuracy, hygiene, and<br/>efficiency in rice distribution through automation. The system was developed using an<br/>Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller integrated with coin and bill acceptors, a stepper<br/>motor for controlled dispensing, an ultrasonic sensor for inventory monitoring, a GSM<br/>module for notifications, and a user interface composed of an LCD and push-button<br/>controls. A prototyping approach was employed, followed by experimental testing focusing<br/>on dispensing accuracy, payment recognition accuracy, and inventory monitoring<br/>reliability. Results showed that the system achieved a 100% pass rate in dispensing<br/>accuracy for 0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 2 kg rice selections across nine trials. Inventory monitoring<br/>also demonstrated 100% accuracy, with system-recorded values perfectly matching manual<br/>measurements. Additionally, the payment system accurately recognized all tested<br/>Philippine coin (₱1, ₱5, ₱10, ₱20) and bill denominations (₱20, ₱50, ₱100), achieving a<br/>100% recognition rate under controlled conditions. These findings confirm the system’s<br/>reliability, functional correctness, and operational efficiency. The study concludes that the<br/>automated rice vending machine is a viable solution for improving food accessibility,<br/>minimizing human error, and enhancing hygiene, aligning with the research agendas of the<br/>Technological University of the Philippines (TUP), the Department of Science and<br/>Technology (DOST), and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero<br/>Hunger).<br/><br/>Keywords: Automated Rice Vending Machine, Arduino-Based System, Inventory<br/>Monitoring, Payment Recognition, UN SDG 2
