Penerapan Konsep Non-Deterministic Finite Automata untuk Pembuatan Sereal Menggunakan Mesin Jual Otomatis dengan Dua Sistem Pembayaran

Abstract

In this research, the concept of Non-Deterministic Finite Automata is used to make a vending machine with two payment options. In Indonesia, there has been an increase in vending machine business as of 2017. From the vending machines that have existed in Indonesia, there are only a few vending machines that can make cereal. From previous researches, there lacked a cashless payment system and there is no research that shows how to build a vending machine that sells cereal. This research uses an NDFA with Mealy Machine in order to illustrate the concepts. In this research, C language (with console application) is used to simulate the conceptual vending machine, and it is working very effectively, from ordering cereals to payment system. The simulation is tested multiple times with different scenarios and the conceptual vending machine works effectively for every single scenario. It is proven that the concept of Non-Deterministic Finite Automata is possible to be used as an alternative to build a vending machine that makes and sells cereal. With this research, vending machine business could be more profitable and more varied with cereal vending machines.
