RFID and IR based Smart Shopping Mart Management System

This paper outlines the development of smart shopping complex that deals with the placement and extraction of products in the most effective way in the rural areas of India. The goods placement is based on effective space and cost management that helps for both on-time and online shopping of products that eliminates the usual manual system of purchase in India shopping centers. The prototype uses an extended shelf system that can be used for on-time shopping at one side and another side for stock filling and takes up for online shopping booking. RFID code system is used to give identity to each product that defines its placement coordinate. Products are placed on a conveyer belt and the three motors get the Cartesian command from the RFID code read and move the product to the defined position. For the on-time shopping, users can use their shopping carts as an smart cart that can automatically calculate their bill and then the customer can select the desired product to add the selected product to the cart, the data from the cart would be saved in EEPROM and communicated wirelessly using Zigbee module to the biller for instant billing. Another facility provided to the customers during their offline shopping is that the stoke keeps on updating itself as the products will be placed on a conveyer belt that can move to update the products.
