performance of the transaction, the embedded computer is Three CNN models were used for training, namely AlexNet,
selected as a control core of the vending machine. Wiring each VGG-16, and GoogLeNet. Three training methods were also

shown as Fig. 3. After the program is started, the settings
required by the system will be loaded. Once RFID card reader

it is not detected, it will inform the error, then the interface In this paper, we combined LoRaWan and AI technology to
program will be opened and wait for the button for click. It can form a sales system for smart vending machine. It can
be divided into three functions: ticket data inquiry, shopping, understand vending machine’s buyers and markets. Face
and item modification. recognition is applied to analyze the main source of the
vending machine in order to adjust the sales, thereby achieving
Open program a higher profit.
