Implementation of Secure Smart Cart for Automatic Detection of Objects Using Arduino and RFID

This model aims to shorten the line at billing counters in shopping malls or supermarkets. The system accomplishes this by presenting the entire details of the product on the cart. By using this process, the customer can pay the balance in full directly at the checkout counter and proceed with their purchases. This eliminates the traditional method of scanning goods at the counter, resulting in a faster overall purchasing experience. Additionally, with this system, the customer knows the total amount to be paid and can plan their shopping accordingly. Purchasing only essential commodities will result in increasing savings. Human error is significantly decreased when the whole billing process is automated. To improve the customer’s purchasing experience, the system also includes the ability to delete scanned products. The method is advantageous for shopping malls because it can assist in lowering the number of billing counters, which will help drastically lower labor costs. This model is based on the Arduino platform, which connects to several IoT modules that are widely used in research and wireless automation solutions. The use of load cells ensures security during shopping by detecting the unscanned products.
