IoT Based Smart Shopping Cart Using RFID

Abstract

Abstract: The standard of living for people has improved with the help of contemporary technology. As a result, large crowds gathered in supermarkets and shopping malls. Due to barcode-based billing system, it is difficult to avoid standing in long lines during weekends or when there is a large crowd in supermarkets and shopping centers. IoT Based Smart Shopping Cart using RFID technology seems to be a promising solution to address the issue of long queues at the billing counters in crowded shopping malls and supermarkets. This system can save a lot of time for customers as the bill is generated automatically at the cart itself. The use of RFID tags for each product and a recharge card with a certain amount in it for each store is an innovative approach that can simplify the billing process. The display of the remaining balance after deducting the price of each product on the LCD of the cart and the real-time update of the total bill on an IoT application such as ThingSpeak can provide customers with a convenient and transparent shopping experience. It can also reduce the need for manual labor, as the system can manage the billing process without the intervention of a cashier. Overall, the IoT Based Smart Shopping Cart using RFID technology has the potential to revolutionize the way people buy by making it faster, more convenient, and more efficient. It can also contribute to reducing the waiting time in long queues and improving the overall shopping experience for customers
