Hand sanitization is the most useful way to prevent the spread of disease-causing microorganisms. Traditionally, to sanitize and clean our hands, we are using soaps and manual hand soap dispenser. Nowadays, due to advancement in the technology, we have optimized the health-care equipment. Currently used modern equipments are very complex and expensive. This research paper proposes the idea of fully automated sensor-based controlled sanitizer dispenser. This research paper advocates radically different approaches: we aim to fully automate the current technique using alternate components for system, thereby reducing the cost of the product. Our designed automated dispenser can be commercially used to develop a good sanitization approach toward a community. The main advantage of this design is that we could design a number of automated dispensers within a small period of time using basic components in a very fewer budget.
