Smart Shopping Cart with RFID Customer Identification and Smart Billing

In today’s Tech and Automation driven world, transforming how people shop starts with solving everyday problems. Traditional shopping experience suffers from several drawbacks like mismanagement and prolonged wait times for the billing and checkout process along with the additional manual effort needed to push the cart throughout the entire store. Smart Shopping Cart aims at a practical approach for elevating the on-store shopping experience. The Cart features include RFID-based customer identification, live billing and automated movement via motors and path obstacle detection by IR sensors. The cart is designed to tackle everyday problems like long queues at checkout, time consuming billing processes and dragging the shopping cart all along. By combining sensors and real-time data transmission, the cart can detect items as they are added or removed, keeping the billing live without the need for manual input. Customers can track their picked items on an LCD screen. It is built to be cost-effective and flexible enough to incorporate the future applications of this project. The solution is a step toward smarter, tech-driven retail spaces that prioritize a hassle-free customer experience.
