ABSTRACT

This project proposes the design and implementation of an IoT-based smart shopping cart system. The system will utilize various sensors and devices, such as RFID readers, weight sensors, and barcode scanners, to automatically detect and track the items placed in the cart. The smart shopping cart will also be equipped with a display screen, which will provide real-time information to the shopper, such as the total cost of the items in the cart and the location of items within the store. The system will also allow shoppers to add or remove items from their cart and pay for their purchases directly through the cart. Furthermore, the system will be designed to communicate with the store's inventory management system to ensure that items are always in stock and that the shopper is alerted if an item is out of stock. The system will also allow for personalized promotions and offers to be sent directly to the shopper's mobile device based on their shopping history and preferences. Overall, the proposed IoT-based smart shopping cart system aims to enhance the shopping experience for consumers by making the process more convenient and efficient, while also providing valuable data and insights to

store owners to improve their inventory management and customer engagement strategies.

INTRODUCTION

The traditional shopping experience often involves manually selecting items from store shelves, placing them in a cart, and then waiting in line to pay at a checkout counter. This process can be time- consuming and inefficient, leading to frustration for both shoppers and store owners. To address these challenges, the proposed IoT-based smart shopping cart system will utilize various sensors and devices to automate the shopping process and enhance the overall shopping experience. The system will utilize RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers to automatically detect and track the items placed in the cart. This will eliminate the need for shoppers to manually scan items at a checkout counter, reducing wait times and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, the system will incorporate a location tracing system to track the location of items within the store. This will allow shoppers to easily find the items they need and reduce the time spent searching for specific products.

The system will also feature an automatic billing system, allowing shoppers to pay for their purchases directly through the smart cart.

This will further enhance the convenience and efficiency of the shopping experience. Overall, the proposed IoT-based smart shopping cart system aims to streamline the shopping process, reduce wait times, and enhance the overall shopping experience for both shoppers and store owners.

OBJECTIVES

• To enable data exchange between trolley and items placed in the rack, is easy to identify the location of items by the purchaser.

• To avoid wait time at the billing counter by developing RFID item scanner with automatic billing mechanism.

• To develop a Quick Shopping Cart with a security unique RFID card for every registered customer.

METHODOLOGY

Fig 1: Block diagram of IoT based smart shopping cart.

The system is based on an Arduino UNO microcontroller, which is interfaced with various components such as switches, buzzer, GSM, power supply, LCD display, and RFID reader. The RFID reader is used to scan RFID tags on the products, and the microcontroller retrieves product details from the tag and displays them on the LCD module. The system also calculates the total bill amount based on the products scanned and displays it on the LCD module. The wireless communication system is placed near the items, and the system updates the is near them. This feature can help shoppers easily find the items they are looking for and improve the overall shopping experience. It is worth noting that the overall working process of the system is implemented using the Arduino IDE software. The software is responsible for processing the data from the components and executing the necessary tasks to make the system work as intended. Overall, the proposed IoT-based smart shopping cart system seems to be a promising solution that can improve the shopping experience and increase efficiency in retail stores.

Step 1: Start the process.

Step 2: The system initialization process takes place when the microcontroller is powered up, and

the system displays the initial data on the LCD module.

Step 3: the product scanning process starts using the RFID reader. If the reader successfully scans the RFID tag, the system displays all the product details on the LCD screen. The wireless communication system helps update the shopping cart with the location of the items as the shopper moves around the store. The wireless communication system is placed where the items are kept, once the users is near to the items with trolley, the data exchange between the trolley and items placed in the rack will be updated to trolley what items are near with us.

Step 4: If we want to remove the any product after shopping, then double scan the RFID card, it will remove from ongoing bill.

Step 5: Finally, to end the shopping process, the shopper needs to scan their membership card. If the card is successfully scanned, the system displays the complete bill details on the LCD screen.

Step 6: After deducting the bill amount from the customer's authorized card, the system sends an SMS to the prescribed shopper's mobile number through GSM.

Step 7: Stop.
