After years of waiting in lines at coffee shops, pubs, and wine bars around the world, Pourtek's founder embarked on a mission to create a better (and faster) customer experience where the conversations and drinks flow uninterrupted. By creating Pourtek, a self-serve beverage system, he has flipped the traditional experience so that customers are in the driver’s seat. Customers decide if they want to taste a new IPA or if they want a full glass of their go-to wine, while paying only for the amount poured. Pourtek’s mission is to help businesses of all sizes achieve this new experience in a cost-friendly way that increases customer satisfaction and their bottom line.
Pourtek’s system can be used in bars, breweries, taprooms, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, stadiums, casinos, cruise ships or even your local watering hole. Pourtek's technology reduces the time it takes for you to get your drink in hand so you can start your day sooner or wind down faster.

Arduino Mega 2560 R3:The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM): A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. A wireless modem behaves like a dial-up modem. Like a GSM mobile phone, a GSM modem requires a SIM card from a wireless carrier in order to operate. A GSM modem can be external unit or PC card. An external GSM modem is connected to PC through a serial cable, a USB cable, Bluetooth or infrared or connected to Arduino. Like a GSM mobile phone, a GSM modem requires a SIM card from a wireless carrier in order to operate. GSM modems support a common set of AT commands. These extended AT commands are defined in the GSM standards.
LCD:LCD used for display the data send by the microcontroller, the LCD used in this project is 16×2(16 rows and 2 Colum). This LCD has a total of 16 pins, out of these pins three pins (RS, R/W, E) are control pins, D0-D7 are data line pins, two pins (15 and 16) are anode and cathode respectively which are used for LCD backlight.
Relay: A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal, or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.
Current sensor:A current sensor is a device that detects electric current (AC or DC) in a wire, and generates a signal proportional to it. The generated signal could be analog current or even digital output. It can be then utilized to display the measured current in an ammeter or can be stored for further analysis in a data acquisition system or can be utilized for control purpose.
Voltage sensor: DC voltage between 0 and 5V (on 5V Arduinos such as the Arduino Mega 2560 when using the standard 5V analog reference voltage). The range over which the Arduino can measure voltage can be increased by using two resistors to create a voltage divider. The voltage divider decreases the voltage being measured to within the range of the Arduino analog inputs. Code in the Arduino sketch is then used to calculate the actual voltage being measured. This allows voltages greater than 5V to be measured.
Real Time Clock:A real time clock is basically just like a watch - it runs on a battery and keeps time for you even when there is a power outage! Using an RTC, you can keep track of long timelines, even if you reprogram your microcontroller or disconnect it from USB or a power plug. The RTC chip is a specialized chip that just keeps track of time. It can count leap-years and knows how many days are in a month. The RTC we'll be using is the DS1307. It's low cost, easy to solder, and can run for years on a very small coin cell even when the Arduino loses power, or is reprogrammed.
Temperature and humidity sensor: The DHT22 is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin. It’s fairly simple to use, but requires careful timing to grab data. The only real downside of this sensor is, it only gets new data from once every 2 seconds.

Multiplexer IC: A multiplexer (or mux) is a device that selects one of several analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input into a single line. A multiplexer of 2n inputs has n select lines, which are used to select which input line to send to the output. Multiplexers are mainly used to increase the amount of data that can be sent over the network within a certain amount of time and bandwidth. A multiplexer is also called a data selector. Multiplexers can also be used to implement Boolean functions of multiple variables.
Optical Isolator: An optical isolator, or optical diode, is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction. It is typically used to prevent unwanted feedback into an optical oscillator, such as a laser cavity.
