INTELLIGENT SHOPPING TROLLEY FOR AUTOMATED BILLING USING IOT AND RFID

Abstract

The extended duration of waiting in grocery store queues to complete their purchases continues to be perceived as bothersome by a significant number of customers, despite the advancements in technology. The supermarket uses a barcode-based invoicing system, which can lead to frustratingly long lines when a large number of customers visit on weekends or during special events. The project's major objective is to implement an IoT-based intelligent shopping cart. Software, an RFID sensor, a wireless communication module, and an Arduino microcontroller make up the cart. RFID sensors can execute their functions solely when wirelessly connected. In order to get product information, the RFID reader accurately deciphers the RFID identifier of every product. Afterwards, the phone app displays the product details for each item. Customerscan personalize their shopping list to their liking with the help of the mobile app. After the purchase data is converted to digital format, bills are automatically created. Quickening the procurement process and fixing service quality problems are the goals of this prototype. After that, the suggested approach can be tested in actual mass production settings.
