SMART SHOPPING USING SMART TROLLEY

Abstract

Shopping mall is a place where people get their daily necessities. There has been an emerging demand for quick and easy payment of bills in shopping malls. Quite often, when shopping in a supermarket shoppers are frustrated at locating the items on the shopping list and no assistance is available. To overcome these problems we have designed a smart trolley with a mobile application. This paper provides a centralized and automated billing system using RFID. Each product of shopping mall, super markets will be provided with a RFID tag, to identify its type. Each shopping cart is implemented with a Product Identification Device (PID) that contains microcontroller, LCD, an RFID reader. Purchasing product information will be read through a RFID reader on shopping cart and it is displayed in LCD which is interfaced to the controller. At the billing counter, the total bill will be transferred to PC by Bluetooth module.
