Project description:
"We are a food technology startup based in Singapore. Our goal is to develop a custom automated hot food vending machine that can prepare and dispense fresh food items in real-time. We are looking for an engineering/design partner (individual or company) who can support us with concept design, prototyping, and early-stage development.

Core Functional Modules (High-Level)

Storage & Dispensing – refrigerated storage for liquid/semi-solid food base.

Cooking Surface – flat heated cooking module with spreading mechanism.

Toppings/Filling Options – small add-on modules for condiments.

User Interface – touchscreen ordering with menu selection.

Payment – QR code / NFC / card payment integration.

Packaging & Delivery – hygienic wrapping and dispensing to the customer.

Connectivity – IoT-based monitoring for machine health and material levels.

Safety & Hygiene – self-cleaning, emergency stop, camera monitoring.

What We Need

Conceptual CAD designs and workflow diagrams.

Assistance in selecting off-the-shelf components and designing custom mechanisms where required.

A working prototype (using modular hardware/software platforms).

Documentation for operation, maintenance, and scale-up.

Project Scope

Duration: ~6 months (for initial prototype).

Budget: ~SGD 10,000–12,000.

Engagement: Remote development with regular reviews and brainstorming sessions.

Who We’re Looking For

Experience with vending machine design, automation, or food robotics.

Ability to deliver prototype builds using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom solutions.

Familiarity with IoT, control systems, and payment system integration.

Collaborative mindset – open to brainstorming and iterative development." (client-provided description)
