Abstract A shopping mall is a place where wide varieties of items are available. Many shopping malls
use barcode scanning system. As this system is time consuming, people have to wait in a long queue at the
billing counter. To overcome this problem, smart shopping cart is introduced. This proposed system uses
RFID technology. Every product is attached with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. For scanning
this tag RFID reader is used which is attached to the cart. As a result bill is generated in the cart itself and is
displayed on the LCD which saves the time of the customer.

Key Words: Lcd board ,IIC,electromagnetic buzzar RFID tag ,ESP8266 ESP

1.INTRODUCTION
IoT is a network in which all physical objects are connected to the internet through network devices or
routers and exchange data. IoT is very intelligent technique which reduces human efforts as well as gives
easy access to physical devices. “Things” in IoT sense, is the mixture of hardware, software, data and
services. It also refers to a variety of devices. These devices gather useful data with the help of varying
existing technologies and share that data among other devices. IoT has many applications in different fields
such as healthcare, smart homes, wearable devices, etc. In this paper we discuss on smart shopping cart
system which is based on RFID technology. Now a day, shopping at big malls is becoming daily activity in
metro cities. The best ways to help the customers is to reduce the time spent in shopping, reduce cost of items
and automated billing.
In shopping malls various technologies are used like Barcode system, Mobile technology (using Android
App), etc. In these system customers have to wait in long queue for billing. Hence, we proposed the new idea
using IOT (Internet of Things).In this system RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Technology is used.
Every item or product is attached with a RFID tag and this product is scanned using RFID reader which is
attached with a trolley. Customer purchase different items and put them in the trolley. Price of that total items
and also names will be displayed on LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen which is also attached with a
trolley. If a customer wants to remove some items, they have to rescan the item which will delete it from the
total bill. In this system, customer’s time is reduced at the time of shopping in the malls.

2. Body of Paper
IoT is a popular topic in recent years. There are many applications of IoT; Smart Shopping Cart is one of
its applications. There are some research works being published in recent years regarding improving
customers’ shopping experience. There were multiple attempts made in 2003. Shanmugapriyan [2] proposed
a basic design using RFID and barcode reader for product identification using Zig-Bee for communication
between server and the cart.

MR.P.Chandrasekar in “Smart Shopping Cart with Automatic billing System through RFID and Zig-Bee”
[8] proposed to develop a shopping cart with a Product Identification Device (PID) which will contain
microcontroller, a LCD, EEPROM, a reader and zig-bee. In implementation with RFID and Zig-Bee. In
2011, Klajan and Pie [3] proposed an idea of tracking a customer and knowing customer’s interests. The idea
of smart carts and smart shelves were also discussed in their work.

Raju Kumar et. Al. [4] in “Intelligent Shopping Cart” explains how to access real time information about
the diverse product inside the shopping cart. Ali and Sonkusare [10] designed a smart cart system with
navigation. It included the implementation of smart shelves, which tells when the smart carts enter an aisle
and delivered product information to carts. There are many more designs in this area. In all previous designs,
customer had to scan the items one-by-one manually, which is not convenient. Difference between RFID and
barcode technology is, RFID does not require lie-of- sight reading but barcode depends on it. RFID can
achieve distance reading, which intellectually brings the property of IoT
PROSED SYSTEM

In proposed system every product has a unique RFID tag attached to it .Attached tag contains not only cost
of the product but also additional information related with product like product name, manufacturing date,
expiry date, etc. While customer put the product in the cart at that time the RFID reader reads that RFID tag
attached to that product

The RFID reader will sends this information to the Arduino Board for further process Arduino performs
various operations on the information received by RFID reader by reading RFID tag attached to the product
With the help of Arduino, LCD Display will show the name and total cost of the product. If customer wants
to remove any any product from list of the purchased product which is already in cart, then customer can
remove product.

HARDWARE USED IN THE SYSTEM:

RFID Tag: Every product in the mall is attached with a RFID tag. The tag not only provides the cost of the
product but also provide additional information such as product name, manufacturing date, expiry date, type
of the product, etc. RFID system consists of RFID tag made up of microchip with an antenna, and a reader

with an antenna. Data stored within a RFID tag’s

A. RFID Reader: RFID reader will not only read the tags but also perform many more operations on data
received from tag. So it is called as “smart RFID reader”. This is possible because RFID reader will be
connected with arduino board. RFID reader sends the data after reading every tag to the arduino. It does not
require line-of-sight .So it can read multiple tags at a time. This is the main advantage of RFID reader.
B.

C. Power supply: The AC supply is applied to the step down transformer

D. Arduino: Arduino is a microcontroller board. The arduino has its own software to burn programs into it.
It uses its own programming language. We will be connecting the RFID reader output to the serial
communication port of the arduino board. Also LCD display will be connected with the arduino board.
RFID reader sends the data to the arduino controller. The controller works on these data, it sends the result
to the LCD display. The arduino adds the total cost of all the items in the cart and transmits this information
to the LCD display.

E.

F. LCD Display: Here the LCD display is used to display the bill. The display is connected to I/O port of

arduino.

G. Transformer: We will use the Step down transformer to convert the AC from power supply to the 4V.
Conclusion:

In this paper, we focused on requirements for smart shopping system using RFID technology. We have
given a brief introduction about how system will work. This system is much beneficial as compared to
barcode system. We believe that adapting this system in future for stores will be easy and efficient. It also
provides customers better services and improves customer experiences
