CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
There are millions of machines in the world, run by companies and
family businesses. This machine gives a lot of benefits in convenience,
speed processing, availability, and versatility of machines. In most cocktail
bars, the bartender is the one that mixes and prepares drinks for customers
with different tastes when it comes to cocktail drinks. Due to time pressure
and demands from the customers, bartenders are prone to making mistakes
during the actual cocktail making process.
So, this project study aimed to have an automated cocktail machine
which will lessen the manpower needed and act as a bartender that mixes
ingredients to make cocktail drinks. It will reduce the amount of time needed
in making a cocktail and will improve accuracy in terms of cocktail volume as
it dispenses by the machine.
The project design is about the implementation of an automated
machine that will mix and dispense ingredients to produce a cocktail drink.
Using a microcontroller for predefined programs and instructions that

of ingredients. loc.148With the use of android
device, the user can select the cocktail from the list of choices.
This machine uses a microcontroller that will automatically function
when the user chose a cocktail mix in the android device. The machine has
a container that will hold the ingredients needed for a cocktail.
The problem in a bartender’s mix of cocktail drink is it must know a
wide range of drink recipes and be able to mix drinks accurately, quickly and
without waste. In continuous making of cocktail, a bartender’s mix cannot be
exact as the one they produced earlier. There was no balance in mixing of
volume in ingredients and when ingredients mixed together, the taste,
accuracy and alcohol content are not the same. The amount of alcohol may
vary, causing inconsistencies on the tastes. Numerous orders prolong the
time of customers waiting to get their drinks. Also, bartenders are prone to
exhaustion and these errors caused bar owner to lose their customers.
As a solution, the researchers decided to design a machine that will
serve as a bartender which can reduce and eliminate errors in the amount of
mixing ingredients for a cocktail drink.

automatically by using a Bluetooth module which connects the android
phone to the cocktail machine. The machine uses a teensy 3.2
3
Technology
microcontroller which has 64 kbytes(+63)046-4164324
RAM that storesloc.148 and process the data
received from the input much faster that a regular microcontroller. A push
and pull solenoid is in series with the teensy 3.2 which controls the valves
that dispenses the ingredients. The prototype demonstrates the dispensing
of cocktail ingredients automatically and emulates the function of bar
tenders.
1.3.2 Limitation

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE & STUDIES
In recent years, there are couple more of past related project or paper
works that is related to this project. There have been several studies on
drink machines and use of microprocessors for the system.
2.1 Foreign Studies
The related project to this is “The Inebriator”, by two electronic
hobbyists from United Kingdom, Ian Cooper is an electrical engineering
technician and Jake Osborne is an IT. It is a Homemade Arduino powered
cocktail Machine, dispensing the signature cocktail "The Inebriator" drink. It
is powered by an Arduino Mega 2560 Microprocessor Project Board-
Arduino which is an open source electronics prototyping platform. A
separate console is used to select drinks, this uses a Fez Panda II running
.netmf code with a serial VFD Vacuum fluorescent display and a rotary
encoder for input. The console sends commands to the Arduino over a serial
connection. The cocktail definitions are stored on the Fez Panda II in xml
format on the SD card. All the low level mechanics code is run from the
Arduino, high level menu and cocktail code is on the Fez Panda II.
6
Technology
Eventually the console will be replaced with anloc.148
(+63)046-4164324 Android Tablet. A stepper
motor is used to drive the drinks shelf, with acceleration and deceleration to
allow high speed without spilling. A DC motor is used to operate the optics.
All mixers are in plastic bottles in a cool box, each bottle has two pipes, one
that is hooked to the gas tank and the other goes from the bottom of the
bottle to a valve. When the gas tank is opened through a regulator the
bottles are pressurized to a low safe pressure. When 12v is applied to the
valve it opens, and the pressure causes the liquid to flow through the pipe
and ultimately into the glass. Each mixer has its own valve and individually
controllable. There is also a cut off valve for the gas supply. A force sensitive
resistor is in place to detect the presence of a glass to prevent accidental
operation. An RFID sensor is integrated to allow operators with a valid RFID
token to get at admin functions such as priming of the mixers, and prevent
inebriated users from accidentally causing chaos. There is a small cluster of
RGB LEDs in the drinks tray to allow for illumination of the glass and is
further used to indicate running and completion of dispensing a cocktail.
There is also a small cluster of RGB LEDs in the top of each optic to
illuminate each spirit.
Another related project to this is the “Liquor Tot Dispenser”, by Craig
Warren Garvie. A liquid tot dispenser has a container for the liquid and a
7
Technology
thimble having an inlet from the container and loc.148
(+63)046-4164324 an outlet, both being valve
controlled. The interior of the thimble has a vent to atmosphere and a
second vent from a low level in the container to atmosphere. In operation,
starting with a full thimble, the liquid is dispensed into a suitable vessel and
air is drawn from atmosphere into the thimble through the first vent. The
liquid is then caused to fill the thimble, thus displacing the air and causing a
partial vacuum in the space in the container above the level of the liquid.
This vacuum causes air to be drawn through the second vent from
atmosphere, and this air bubbles through the liquid into the space, thereby
restoring the pressure in the space.
2.2 Local Studies
A related project paper entitled “An Automated Microcontroller-based
Cocktail Mixer and Dispenser”, by De La Salle University – Manila. In this
study it focused on the design and implementation of an automated
microcontroller-based cocktail mixer and dispenser that can provide mixed
drinks with the push of a single button. The machine uses three
microcontrollers that functions as the brain of the system to which all the
operating functions of each module are chronologically programmed in it. It
has predefined programs and instructions that are responsible for the
8
Technology
cocktail production processes that (+63)046-4164324
the machineloc.148
will perform as directed by
the use through an input device. The machine has two sets of dispensers
responsible for dispensing the ingredients to the mixing container and for
pouring the final cocktail in a glass. Submersible pumps, which are
controlled by relays, used to transfer the ingredients to the mixing container
through hose pipes. The quantity of each ingredient to be dispensed is
controlled and monitored by the microcontroller’ program. After dispensing
the right proportions and transferring them into the mixing container, a
simple motor is used to mix them. After which, the cocktail is dispensed in a
glass through a valve controlled by a servo motor. The ingredient level for
every container is monitored by a water level sensor located inside the
container. The system is able to serve a drink by offering a choice of 9 pre-
programmed cocktails and customized drinks out of the six basic ingredients
at the touch of a button.

3.4 Implementation and Testing(+63)046-4164324 loc.148
We conducted an experiment to determine the behavior of each
ingredient when dispensed by the valves. Dispensing the exact amount of
liquid for each kind of liquor mix to be processed by the machine was very
important since it significantly affected the taste of the end product. The
volume dispensed per seconds of individual valves is discussed in chapter 4.
3.5 Machine Evaluation
We evaluate the machine base on its output discussed in chapter 4 and
its behavior while processing the given data in microcontroller. The primary
concern is the response of the solenoid valves. The group tested and tried to
locate and fix the possible sources that affects the output of the machine.
During the implementation and testing, the group found out the dispensed
ingredients of each valves is not consistent. To fix this problem, we
reprogrammed the microcontroller and changed the time delay of each
valves. Using this formula.

Time = 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑣𝑒 𝐴𝑣𝑒.
3.5.1 Final Testing
Final testing of the machine was made to ensure that the machine is
dispensing proper amount of ingredients. By doing so, the group was able to
fix the problem and meet the objectives. The result will be discussed in

The volume dispense may represents error in percentage out of 3
trials of each dispensed ingredient. The densest of all cocktail drinks is
boracay because of its ingredient which is the evaporated milk. The least
dense is the gin & tonic because of its liquid form.
Following factor of errors are:
 The quality of materials (customized solenoid valve) that has been
used.
 Different density of ingredients.
 The level of ingredients in the container

Following factor of errors are:(+63)046-4164324 loc.148
 The quality of materials (customized valves) that has been
used.
 Different density of ingredients.
 The level of ingredients in the container.
 The internal resistance of the solenoid which affect the timing
because of its behavior during the transient state.
4.3 Performance of the Project
The researchers were able to produce the prototype and do a
thorough testing, and here are the concerns and evaluation of the
researchers that were seen on the performance of the project.
1. The response of the solenoid valve was quite slow. The response time
and the time it takes to act which affects the volume of the cocktail
produced.
2. Devices that pairing to the machine had taken time to initialize Bluetooth
connection and processed the system.
3. Dispensing of Cocktail was done one at a time.
4. Only one user had the control over the machine and preferred the chosen
Cocktail drink.
38
Technology
5. The start and the end of producing Cocktail loc.148
(+63)046-4164324 was monitored through the
LCD display.
6. There were limitations in the type of cocktail drink that was produced.
4.2 Physical Appearance of the Machine
The result which was taken from the evaluators and correspondents
were treated statistically and the average was computed to determine the
outcome of the evaluation. The tabulated scores from the 20 evaluators
showed very significant and convincing results.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
In this chapter states the overall conclusion of the project which
addresses if the objectives of development of an Automated Cocktail
Machine were actually met.
52
Technology
(+63)046-4164324 loc.148
5.1 Conclusion
In conclusion, the Cocktail machine is capable of dispensing cocktail
drinks that are programmed in its microcontroller. By the use of this
machine, it will help to reduce the manual labor behind the bar counter by
dispensing the ingredients to make drinks. In relation to the objectives and
testing done, the researchers were able to conclude that the machine can
help the bartender in making cocktail drinks. It can dispense drinks chosen
by the user via an android app installed on a device. It is capable of
dispensing close to the exact amount of ingredients for all drinks
programmed in it. The volume dispence drink is taken to account
considering that the highest percentage error obtained from the results of the
design testing was the Boracay cocktail with the highest density of
ingredients milk mix on it and for lowest percentage error was by the Gin and
Tonic Cocktail. The researcher were able to met the
objectives to develop an Automated Cocktail machine and were able to
document the test and evaluation of the project.
5.2 Recommendations
53
Technology
For further enhancement for(+63)046-4164324
the improvement,
loc.148 functionalty and to
optimize the resources of the design it could be done by:
 Putting a glass sensor on the dispensing point so that it will not
process cocktail if there is no glass detected.
 Using a more precise valve that will dispence a small amount of
volume of liquid in cubic centimeter (cc).
 Adding an ice dispenser additional to cocktail ingredients.
