IoT based Smart Trolley and Automatic Shopping System

Project Title

IoT based Smart Trolley and Automatic Shopping System

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

The project is based on IoT in which we will introduce a Smart Shopping Trolley which will help customers and visitors at shopping malls or markets to know about the details of products and their bill related information in real time by just putting the product in the cart. We will be using RFID Technology integrated with cloud which help help customers in maintaing their respective shopping mall account which will also tell them about their current bill status and previous shopping history, using that account he can also get info about available products at mall and eligible offers or discounts. 

Project Objectives

1. Save Time
2. Real Time Bill Calculation
3. No Cash Counter Queues
4. Easy access to Product Details
5. Shopping History Management

Project Implementation Method

Reading Of The RFID Tag In this phase, every product will be equipped with a RFID tag whose information will be stored in the microcontroller. When these tags are read through the RFID reader, the tags will be checked against the data stored in the microcontroller and if the tags match then it is displayed on the LCD.
In this phase, we see how the RFID tags inserted on the product is read. As shown in the figure, the RFID tag has to be activated for it to be read, only if the RFID tag is active it is read otherwise it will not be read. For a RFID tag to be active it has to be swiped. After the tag is active and swiped the tag is scanned by the

RFID reader which is connected to the microcontroller where the information of the entire product will be stored. This RFID reader passes this tag to the microcontroller and matches if the swiped tag ID is present in the database. The database would include the product information like the name and cost of the product 5.2.2 Displaying Of Content On Lcd Screen When the tag is read in the previous phase then it will be compared to the value stored in the microcontroller, if the tags ID matches then the microcontroller will send the respective tag information to the LCD for display. The LCD displays the Product name and cost of the product. In this phase, we mainly focus on the content to be displayed on the LCD screen after the tag is successfully verified. The data stored in the database is sent to the LCD to display. The format of the LCD can be defined by the user as to what information has to be displayed. In this paper we are only displaying the Product name, cost and the total cost of all the products in the trolley 5.2.3 Sending Billing Information To Main Computer After all the shopping of the person, the total cost and products in the trolley will be sent to the main server with the help of ZIGBEE. The ZIGBEE transmitter will send the information from microcontroller and ZIGBEE receiver will collect the data and sends it the main computer at the billing counter. In this module, we are transferring the information of the products and its total cost to the main computer which will be kept at the billing station.

Benefits of the Project

1. Reduces man power required in purchasing section. This can reduce the expenses incurred by the management.
2. Users can be aware of the total bill amount during the time of purchase.
3. Safer working condition.
4. Reduces time spent at the billing counter and increases customer satisfaction.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. Reading Of The RFID Tag In this phase, every product will be equipped with a RFID tag whose information will be stored in the microcontroller. When these tags are read through the RFID reader, the tags will be checked against the data stored in the microcontroller and if the tags match then it is displayed on the LCD.In this phase, we see how the RFID tags inserted on the product is read. The RFID tag has to be activated for it to be read, only if the RFID tag is active it is read otherwise it will not be read. For a RFID tag to be active it has to be swiped. After the tag is active and swiped the tag is scanned by the Intelligence Billing System Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and ZIGBEE?WIFI. RFID reader which is connected to the microcontroller where the information of the entire product will be stored. This RFID reader passes this tag to the microcontroller and matches if the swiped tag ID is present in the database. The database would include the product information like the name and cost of the product.
2. Displaying Of Content On Lcd Screen When the tag is read in the previous phase then it will be compared to the value stored in the microcontroller, if the tags ID matches then the microcontroller will send the respective tag information to the LCD for display. The LCD displays the Product name and cost of the product. In this phase, we mainly focus on the content to be displayed on the LCD screen after the tag is successfully verified. The data stored in the database is sent to the LCD to display. The format of the LCD can be defined by the user as to what information has to be displayed. In this paper we are only displaying the Product name, cost and the total cost of all the products in the trolley.
3. Sending Billing Information To Main Computer After all the shopping of the person, the total cost and products in the trolley will be sent to the main server with the help of ZIGBEE. The ZIGBEE transmitter will send the information from microcontroller and ZIGBEE receiver will collect the data and sends it the main computer at the billing counter. In this module, we are transferring the information of the products and its total cost to the main computer which will be kept at the billing station.
