Smart Shopping Trolley System using IoT

Abstract

Currently, billions of consumers shop at large in shopping mall stores for their everyday necessities. In today’s life, purchasing has become a part of everyday life. On holidays and weekends, malls experience massive crowds. When there are exclusive sales and discounts, the urgency is intensified. Here we will use IOT based technology for people buy various things and place them in a trolley. When they have completed their order, they must pay at the billing desk. The Bills generated by a RFID reader which is a time-consuming procedure that leads to long queues at billing counters. The key objective is to build a framework that can be used in shopping malls to fix the issue described above. Both trolleys would be fitted with the system. It will require an RFID reader; RFID tags would be found in many of the mall’s goods. When a consumer places items in the trolley, the code is read, and the price of certain items is saved in the admin portal. When we add items to the cart, the device depicts the item’s name, number, expiration date, and rate, which is then applied to the overall bill. As a result, billing will take place within the trolley itself. The complete bill data will be passed to online portal Wi-Fi Module with trolley id, and we will be able to pay the balance either online or at bill counter by scanning the RFID tag placed in the trolley. In-season inventory reductions are often applied in transactions through admin, and item stock may be recorded. Intelligent Carts and automated recognition systems are being utilized by merchants to enhance the efficiency of their offerings and to boost market demand, enabling them to save time and money.

Smart Shopping Cart for Visually Impaired Individuals

“…Online shopping has become more popular as the emergence of specialist sites such as Amazon, Julie Chic, and Integra, etc. The presence of ecommerce, on the other hand, has not stifled the growth of traditional markets [9].…”

“…These findings suggest that there are major differences between low-and high-budget customers that need further explanation. They have far-reaching implications for infrastructure, online shops, and software developers [9].…”

Internet of things and radio frequency identification based embedded system to reduce shopping time in supermarkets

“…Regarding the development tools used, the Arduino development board is the most widely used to realize the proposed systems based on product RFID and data manipulation to display relevant information to the user through a liquid crystal display (LCD) and add it to their payment list through a database [6], [8], [14]- [20]. However, the operating response is very slow and the LCD display does not generate a good interface for the customer.…”

“…In addition, the tools used for wireless data transfer in the proposed systems involve an important technological aspect. On the one hand, some researches use IoT technology, accessing them through the cloud [2], [5], [6], [8], [15], [16], [18], [19], [21]- [23]. On the other hand, other researchers chose to use transmitter modules such as global systems for mobile communications (GSM) [17], network modules using XBee/ZigBee communication protocol [7]- [9], [20], and nRF24 model wireless transceivers [1], [24].…”
