RFID Aided Intelligent Shopping Trolley with Child Care Unit

Abstract

As the need for digital shopping grows, such as E-commerce and E-food, consumers continue to purchase at supermarkets and shopping malls for their self gratification. Owing to this billing process is the major headache in shopping malls. The primary objective of this research is to optimize the payment process which is placed on the trolley with the help of RFID. This article outlines the design of an intelligent shopping trolley based on a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader and it includes the child care unit model. The trolley is equipped with an RFID reader, QR scanner, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a child care unit. Whenever a product is portrayed to the RFID reader, the product cost is displayed over the LCD screen. The primary benefit of this research would be that the compunction cares for children by integrating with the trolley. It consists of an RF module that serves as transceiver. The child care section will contribute to ensuring the safety of children visiting shopping malls with their parents. It generates an alert when the baby attempts to leave from the cart. In real-world situations, the Lithium-ion batteries would have been preferable due to their extended life. Additionally, the battery's average life span would be six years.
