DIGITAL MINI JAR

Abstract

The Digital Mini Jar is an innovative storage solution designed to simplify the identification of items, specifically tablets or grocery products, using digital display technology. Utilizing a 3D-printed jar, an Arduino microcontroller, and an LED display, this system provides a more organized and efficient alternative to traditional handwritten labels in medical pharmacies or grocery stores. The project combines practical design with modern technology to improve the ease of identification and reduce manual-errors. The idea behind the Digital Mini Jar stems from the need for a simple yet effective method of displaying information about stored items. In settings such as pharmacies, where it is essential to identify items quickly and accurately, handwritten labels are often inefficient and prone to error. This project offers a digital approach to displaying item names, such as medication (e.g., Dolo 650), with the flexibility to program different labels based on user requirements. The Digital Mini Jar is a novel take on the traditional storage jar, but with a tech-savvy twist. Instead of relying on manual labelling, the jar incorporates a digital display system driven by an Arduino board, which can be programmed to display the name of any stored item. This concept introduces several advantages: Improved Organization: Users can cycle through and display items (e.g., tablets or grocery items) by simply rotating or pressing a button, ensuring that the right item is stored in the jar and easily identifiable. Adaptability': The project allows users to customize the system to fit their needs by simply reprogramming the microcontroller to display different items. Digital Labelling: This project replaces traditional labelling methods with a digital approach, making it more efficient and visually appealing.

Specification

The Digital Mini Jar introduces a range of benefits across several areas: • Efficiency: The digital display ensures that items can be quickly identified without having to rely on handwritten labels, reducing the risk of misidentification. • Flexibility: The jar can be reprogrammed to display different names for various items, whether they are tablets in a pharmacy or groceries in a store. • User-Friendliness: With a simple button or rotary encoder, users can cycle through names and update the display, making it easy for anyone to operate. • Portability: The small, lightweight design and battery power option make the jar portable and easy to use in different environments. - - - Cost-Effective: Using- an Arduino microcontroller, LED display. jmdj3.D_pnntin»,jhisixoiecij5j:elAtjvel-Y.. inexpensive to create, making it accessible for broader use
