Smart Ration Card System using Lab View

Abstract: This paper proposes the innovative distribution An automatic distribution of ration material based on GSM
system called "smart ration card program using LabVIEW." (Global Mobile System) and RFID (Radio Frequency

Using this new modern system, the public distribution system can
be better managed. Govt. May have indirect control over the
recipient's availability of the ration. Dealer won't be able to bring
for them fake ration cards. System helps to greatly modernize
traditional rationing and fight corruption. It is possible to change

FUTURE SCOPE
A biometric device can be used to enhance customer
authentication. The provision can be made such as uploading data
directly to the online database via PDA computer. We can use the
load sensor for the exact amount of commodities.
