Smart-Cart for Smart-Cities

In the current scenario, smart devices and smart technology are gaining high momentum for Automatic Identification and Data Capture(AIDC). Radio Frequency Identification and Detection(RFID) are one of the promising solutions for AIDC. Here, we present a smart solution for automatic billing enabled by RFID. We have proposed new methodology to simplify the billing process and reduce the time spent in searching products in the supermarket. Every product and customers details is uniquely identified by the RFID. An Authenticated customer can choose the products from the list displayed on the user interface. Then the smart cart automatically routes itself to the location of the product. Every purchased products price and weight is to be read by the RFID reader on the Smart-Cart through RFID tag on the product. Concurrent billing and calculation is done by the website developed. When the shopping is completed, the amount gets debited from the customers prepaid account.
