Smart Follower Sensing Shopping Cart using Centralized Billing System

Abstract

In the age of technological advancements, automation is essential to improve and streamline processes. Since last few decades,technology has transformed the landscape of industries and lifestyle .The proposed system suggests implementing a smart cart using a touchscreen liquid crystal display (LCD) which will show the product details using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).The LCD displays an overview of the entire supermarket showing all the different sections available helping the customer to find products. The system has a centralized billing system because of the customer need not wait in long queues for the final billing process which will eventually save his/her time. Machine automation has starting replacing human effort .With a view to accomplish this ,the customer does not have to move the cart ,instead the cart will follow the customer. A RF receiver is fixed inside the cart and the transmitter is given handed over to the customer . The information of the product added in the cart by the customer is stored in Electrically Erasable Programming Read Only Memory (EEPROM). Once the customer is done with shopping and clicks the finish button all the information will be transferred to the administrative system using Zigbee.
