Abstract

The modern age of technology in which most of the customer needs to wait in the supermarket for shopping because it is a highly time-consuming process. A huge crowd in the supermarket at the time of discount offers or weekends makes trouble to wait in long queues because of a barcode-based billing process. In this regard, the Internet of Things (IoT) based Smart Shopping Cart is proposed which consists of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors, Arduino microcontroller, Bluetooth module, and Mobile application. RFID sensors depend on wireless communication. One part is the RFID tag attached to each product and the other is RFID reader that reads the product information efficiently. After this, each product information shows in the Mobile application. The customer easily manages the shopping list in Mobile application according to preferences. Then shopping information sends to the server wirelessly and automatically generates billing. This experimental prototype is designed to eliminate time-consuming shopping process and quality of services issues. The proposed system can easily be implemented and tested at a commercial scale under the real scenario in the future. That is why the proposed model is more competitive as compared to others.

Highlights

Sensors are electronic devices [1] that can collect information from the surrounding environment [2]
Customers can login with two methods after the complete initialization of the android mobile application and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system
When RFID reader reads the customer RFID card, it sends it to Arduino Uno, Arduino sends it to the android mobile application through Bluetooth and android mobile application gets the data from the server according to this customer id and verify it is a registered user or not

Summary

Introduction

Sensors are electronic devices [1] that can collect information from the surrounding environment [2]. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used to interfacing of multiple sensors to work together and share collected information wirelessly [3]–[5]. Isolated systems are less valuable networked systems [6] which generate more intelligent and autonomous applications [7]. A wide range of information can be collected, when the coupling of the wireless sensors with networked systems [8]. IoT is directly or indirectly tightly coupling of communication network and sensor network where the data management and data processing achieved by monitoring these processes intelligently [9], [10]. The sensors and actuators have an important role in IoT that enables us to
