PROBLEM STATEMENT:
All over India, currently at every shop or mall while purchasing any product, customer have
to go to billing counter and their employee of that particular shop or mall scan the RFID tag
or barcode and then generate bill.

. After that we have to pay by cash or credit or debit card.

. It is time consuming.
. Need access of staff.
. It is difficult to keep the record of consumer.
. Sometimes lacks in the security.

ABSTRACT:
 • People tend to overshoot their budget when they are shopping at a big

shopping center. Moreover, they end up in long queues at the end of their

shopping waiting for the products to be scanned and billed.

• The Smart Shopping Cart addresses the above problems easily.

• It helps the customer in ensuring that he does not overshoot his pre

decided budget and only buy the essential commodities actually needed

by him, also the system helps in eliminating the long queues at the billing

counter as the products are already scanned and the customer just has to

pay the bill and bag the bought items.

• The system is profitable for the shopping centers as it can help in

reducing the number of billing counters and reducing employee costs

significantly.

INTRODUCTION;

Technology has been an enlightening path for innovative new ideas and connecting the world

in which Modern world has brought us many possible ways of connecting people with
technology such as IoT and industrial automation. One of the most important modern world

leisure activities is spending time shopping in malls, shopping complexes etc. Thus, an

upbringing innovation in the field of shopping and retail stores can be the inclusion of smart

shopping trolley systems in which the person has to just register with the help of his/her

phone number and enjoy shopping with personalised billing system which helps the customer

to view his total amount anytime while shopping which helps to maintain the budget, as well

as automatic billing, helps in did you see the hardships required for waiting and standing in

long queues in the shopping malls. Our project consists of RFID tags which can be attached

to the required products, an RFID reader which is used for scanning the products after putting

them in the trolley while dropping them in the trolly the product will be scanned by EM-18,

an LCD which will be used to show the items added in the trolley along with the total

amount. The aim is to design a microcontroller-based shopping cart aiding the customers in

their shopping and reducing the queue at the billing counter. The system must also have a

feature to delete a purchased product in case the customer changes his/her mind. There is also

a need of a centralized database which contains the cost of all the products in the shopping

market. This paper helps in eliminating or reducing the above-mentioned problems

substantially.

 Techniques/ Tools required for Development

Hardware requirement

 RFID Reader: -

A radio frequency identification reader (RFID reader) is a device used to gather information
from an RFID tag, which is used to track individual objects. Radio waves are used to transfer
data from the tag to a reader.

 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): -

LCD is a flat display technology, stands for "Liquid Crystal Display," which is generally used
in computer monitors, instrument panels, cell phones, digital cameras, TVs, laptops, tablets,
and calculators. It is a thin display device that offers support for large resolutions and better
picture quality.

 Push buttons/Switch: -

Pushbutton switch is exactly what the name implies: an electrical switch actuated by a
person’s hand motion. These may take the form of toggle, pushbutton, rotary, pull-chain, etc.

 Reset button: -

A push button is a button that can reset a device.

 Microcontroller: -

It is controlled by software and programmed in such a way that it performs different

tasks and controls a generation line.

 Visual Indicator (Red and Green LED): -

independently switched 10mm jumbo LEDs this unit can clearly display red or green
indications. With a low current input to switch each LED independently

Software interaction –

Front End: -HTML, CSS

Back End: - Python PHP

Framework: -Angular Js, Django

Mail Service: - SMTP (Simple m)

Data base: -POSTGRESQL

  ADVANTAGES

 Smart shopping trolley self-Checkout reduce customers waiting time.

 It also reduces the payoff given for workers.
 It is possible to rewrite the RFID tags.
 It doesn’t need line of sight

 DISADVANTAGES

 Smart shopping carts will increase the maintenance cost of the store.
 Smart shopping carts cost more.
 Can Easily damaged if not handled carefully.

Conclusion

This product has been designed and completed. Both the programming and the hardware

design have been completed successfully and we have been successful in making all the

functions work. The cart housing, all the components has been designed and the components

are fixed into it. There is also a scope of improvement, a feature where a customer can feed in

the shopping list which will enable the customer not to miss out on any item. In the current

market, this shopping cart stands apart from the existing designs due to a variety of features.
One reason is that it stands apart from the conventional method of bar code scanning where

an item has to be in the line of sight whereas using RFID reader it just has to be in the

vicinity and it would be detected. The cart will enable the customer to scan the items and get

the total bill instantly. This would reduce the checkout time of a customer from the billing

counter. An added advantage for the shop owner is that there is reduced amount of man

power required at the billing counter. Hence, the Smart Shopping Cart stands apart from

existing designs
