Abstract: In Pharmacies inside hospitals we can more often see lots of people waiting in queues to get the most common medicines. This wastes their time. There is also a possibility of human Error, which may become a major problem. So, in order to overcome that we decided to automate the process of Medicine Vending which is much faster and less error prone than Human pharmacist. Before meeting the doctor, the patient is issued a RFID card. After inspecting the patient, the doctor scans the RFID of the Patient in his RFID scanner which is connected with a microcontroller. Now the RFID value is pushed to web app provided to the doctor. The web app will be where the doctor inputs the medicine count in the respective text boxes. Now the prescription will be pushed to database from the web app. When the patient scans the RFID in the Automated Medicine Vending Machine placed at the pharmacy it retrieves the medicine count from the database and vends the medicines to the patient.
