Abstract

Nowadays, buying and searching for products at shopping malls are turning into a daily activity in cities. We can see many number of people shopping at malls on holidays and weekends. The rush happens when there are special offers and discounts. People purchase completely various things and place them in trolley. After total purchase, one must visit the billing counter for billing and making payments. In the billing counter, the cashier prepares the bill victimization bar code reader that might be a time overwhelming method and leads to long queues at billing counters. This project targeted to minimize the queue at a billing counter in a shopping mall. The smart shopping cart does the same by displaying the total price of the product kept inside the cart. In this way, the customer can directly pay the amount either in-app or in the billing counter and leave with the commodities he/she has bought. The hardware relies on Arduino Nano, RFID Reader Module, RFID Card, and Buzzer. Eliminates the normal scanning of products at the counter and in turn speeds up the entire process of shopping is easy and also with this system, the customer shall know the total amount to be paid. Hence the customer can plan his shopping only by buying the essential commodities according to his savings. Since the entire process of billing is based on RFID, so it reduces the possibility of human error substantially. The system also has a feature to delete the scanned products by customers to further optimize the shopping experience.
