Pain Points (Public)

Retail distribution of 11–20 kg liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders relies heavily on staffed depots with limited hours, while standard automated dispensing machines lack the structural payload rating, explosion-hazard containment, and anti-theft locking necessary to safely store and release heavy combustible gas tanks unattended.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Engineer a complete CAD and production-ready mechanical design package for an outdoor LPG vending enclosure, featuring heavy-gauge structural sheet metal, motorized individual-bay locking and release mechanisms rated for 20 kg cylinders, load-cell sensors for continuous inventory auditing, and an electrical harness integrating industrial payment controllers.
