I’m looking for a complete design-and-build solution for a smart dispenser that can handle dry food, wet food, and a variety of home-cleaning products in a commercial environment. The core requirement is an automatic sensor-based mechanism that lets customers select and fill exactly the quantity they need, reducing waste while streamlining self-service. Functionally, the unit should: • Recognise a container placed beneath the spout, trigger dispensing automatically, and stop precisely at the chosen weight or volume. • Keep wet and dry chambers fully sealed to avoid cross-contamination, odour transfer, or moisture ingress. • Be robust enough for daily public use—think stainless steel or food-grade polymers that are easy to wipe down and resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. • Offer a straightforward refill system for staff, with clear level indicators on each reservoir. I’ll need detailed CAD drawings, component specifications (sensors, valves, augers/pumps, control board), and an assembly guide so manufacturing can move ahead without guesswork. Firmware for the sensor logic should be included, ideally in an easily updatable format such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Acceptance criteria: the prototype must dispense within ±2 g or ±2 ml of the user’s setting, complete a cycle in under five seconds, and pass a 500-cycle durability test without leaks or jams. If this sounds like your specialty, let’s talk timeline and hand-off milestones for design, prototype, and final documentation. Go to [login to view URL] to see what exactly I need.

Hi I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience. I have extensive experience taking sensor-controlled electromechanical products from concept through CAD, electronics, firmware, prototyping, testing, and production documentation. I reviewed SKUBU and understand that this dispenser must support its packaging-free retail model, where customers buy only the quantity they need. I can develop modular, fully separated wet and dry dispensing systems using suitable augers, pumps, valves, load cells/flow sensing, sealed food-safe reservoirs, and an accessible control platform. The work will include detailed CAD, component specifications, control-board design, updatable firmware, assembly instructions, and manufacturing-ready documentation. The prototype will be designed around the ±2 g/±2 ml accuracy, sub-five-second cycle, sanitation, and 500-cycle durability requirements, with calibration and validation procedures included. I can also support supplier selection, prototype troubleshooting, design-for-manufacture, and the transition to a consumer-grade production unit. Could you share the expected product types and viscosity/granule ranges, reservoir capacities, preferred customer interface, and whether the dispenser must integrate with the existing SKUBU card/payment system? Please contact me to discuss details, milestones, and the prototype hand-off plan.

Hello, I reviewed the SKUBU reference and understand that you need a commercial self-service refill station—not simply a basic dispenser. The system must combine accurate dispensing, container detection, sealed product storage, easy staff refilling, customer controls, and reliable inventory tracking. I propose developing a modular platform with separate mechanisms for: Free-flowing dry foods such as rice and sugar Powders such as flour, maize meal and detergent Liquids such as cooking oil and compatible cleaning products The system will use an industrial microcontroller for real-time dispensing and an optional Raspberry Pi interface for the touchscreen, payment integration, transaction records, remote updates and stock monitoring. Firmware will be supplied in an editable Arduino/PlatformIO-compatible format. The dispensing algorithm will be calibrated separately for each product. The five-second cycle requirement can be achieved for the agreed standard quantity range; larger 2–5 kg/litre fills will require confirmation of the expected flow rate. Before starting, I would confirm the exact products and safety data sheets, minimum/maximum quantities, number of dispensing bays, cabinet dimensions, payment/backend requirements, electrical supply and expected manufacturing volume. I can begin with the requirements and architecture milestone immediately and provide a detailed project plan before the design is frozen. Regards, MOHD SADAB KHAN

Hello, Your dispenser is a complete mechatronics product rather than a simple embedded project, and that's the type of engineering challenge I enjoy. I have experience developing embedded control systems, PCB hardware, sensor interfaces, motor control, and manufacturing-ready documentation. My approach is to build the system around a modular architecture, using dedicated dispensing mechanisms for dry and liquid products, precision weight/volume feedback, and firmware designed for repeatable, accurate dispensing. The hardware will be developed with reliability, hygiene, ease of maintenance, and manufacturability in mind. I'll provide complete CAD-ready documentation, electronics, firmware, component specifications, and assembly guidance to support prototype fabrication and future production. After reviewing your detailed requirements and the SKUBU-style workflow, I can propose a practical milestone plan and timeline. Best regards, ShengLin Gu.

Hello, I have worked with sensor-based product concepts where accurate dispensing, sealed chambers, and service access were important. Your smart bulk dispenser needs careful 3D Modelling, practical CAD/CAM planning, and detailed CAD / SolidWorks files for manufacturing. I will prepare the dispenser layout around the wet and dry reservoirs, spout detection, weighing or volume control, valves, augers or pumps, and a refill-friendly structure. The hand-off will include component specifications, assembly guidance, and firmware direction for Arduino or Raspberry Pi so the prototype can be tested against the accuracy, speed, and durability targets.

I understand you need a smart dispenser for commercial use, capable of handling dry and wet products with a sensor-based mechanism for precise, automatic dispensing triggered by container placement. I've previously designed and built an automated Arduino-controlled system that accurately dispensed measured volumes of liquids based on sensor input. My approach would involve designing the physical housing and internal mechanisms using CAD software. The dispensing control system will be built around an Arduino microcontroller, integrating weight or volume sensors to precisely manage the flow of product. I will develop custom firmware to interpret sensor readings and activate servo motors or pumps for accurate dispensing, ensuring sealed chambers for wet and dry compartments. For the product detection, will a simple weight sensor suffice, or is a more sophisticated optical sensor required to differentiate container types? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

Your requirement for a sensor-based, automatic dispenser that precisely measures dry and wet products, while maintaining seal integrity, immediately brings to mind the challenges we've addressed in developing automated dosing systems for laboratory consumables and industrial chemicals. The core of that success lay in the precise integration of load cells with intelligent microcontrollers and robust sealing mechanisms, ensuring accuracy and preventing contamination, which directly mirrors your need for exact quantity dispensing and cross-contamination prevention. My approach would involve a modular design utilizing high-precision load cells for weight-based dispensing and potentially ultrasonic sensors for volume confirmation, coupled with a microcontroller programmed with PID loops for accurate, real-time dispensing control. For product separation, we'd implement a double-gasket system with interlocked pneumatic or servo-driven valve mechanisms for both wet and dry product pathways. A stainless steel chassis and food-grade/chemical-resistant polymers would ensure durability and hygiene suitable for a commercial setting. To ensure we're perfectly aligned, could you elaborate on the expected range of product viscosities and particle sizes for the wet and dry components, respectively? Also, regarding the user interface, are you envisioning a simple button interface or a more advanced touchscreen with product selection and tracking capabilities? I’m confident we can deliver a robust and efficient solution and would welcome a brief call to discuss the specifics further.
