Abstract

RFID Anti-Theft Security and Power Regenerative System for Shopping Cart offers a reliable and a low cost design to prevent shopping cart from missing. Many retail store companies face the problem of missing shopping cart because it regularly happen, and it cost them a big loss. In this case, shoppers seem to push the shopping cart away from the shopping compound and later the cart will be abandoned outside the shopping compound. Currently, a simple security system that use coins or token had been developed to prevent the cart being placed outside of the shopping compound, but the system is proven not quite effective to prevent the missing cart problem. Therefore, this system is proposed in order to achieve several objectives which are to reduce number of missing carts, to provide systematic management of carts via RFID, to prevent inconvenience cause at parking lot by abandoned carts and also to design a sustainable system which can recharge the battery by its own. Active RFID unidirectional wireless communication between both shopping cart (receiver) and shopping compound entrance or exit gate (transmitter) will initiate the locking mechanism which leads the carts' wheels get locked. This system also has power regenerative system that is to charge the main battery by using a dynamo. Highly secured, reliable and low cost anti-theft system is expected to be developed.
