INTRODUCTION
‘Time is Money’. We all can agree time is very valuable. Everyone might have experienced
standing in a queue for billing at any retail store or supermarkets like Metro Cash and Carry, Big
Bazaar. Any alternative to this system would save a lot of time and surplus efforts at the billing
counter. During this post pandemic time, our method will also minimize human intervention to a
significant extent. The solution to the above problem proposed by us is a simple yet effective one.
The customer has to just scan a QR code, and the bill will be reflected on his/her phone
automatically.
IMPLEMENTATION
The solution mentioned above can be implemented using a few Wi-Fi modules integrated with a
mobile application. The shopping cart will have four Wi-Fi modules at each corner for better
accuracy. These modules will act as receivers. Each product will have a different Wi-Fi module
attached to it which will act as transmitters. These modules are physically very small in size; hence
they are easy to install and modify. Once the items/products are put into the shopping cart, they
will be detected by the receiving Wi-Fi modules. Each transmitter module can be configured
according to the product they are attached to and their respective prices. This data must be stored in
a real-time temporary Database and then be reflected in the mobile application. There will be a
separate location called ‘billing zone’. The billing zone has different modules which will detect the
cart once it enters the zone.
User-end :
The main objective of any project is to make it easily accessible and user friendly.
The customer who enters the Smart Retail Store will find a shopping cart which will have two QR
codes on it. The customer scans the first QR code using his phone camera/google lens to install a
lightweight Application. Once this is installed, the customer will scan the second QR code through
the installed application. This will make that particular cart unique to each customer. Once
shopping is done, the customer will enter ‘the billing’ zone.
