IoT Based Smart Shopping System Using RFID and Zigbee Technology

Abstract

Now a days IoT is changing human life easy by connecting things together. One of the IoT application is Smart Shopping. A super market or shopping mall is a place where people buy products for their regular use. At malls there will be huge rush especially on holidays and weekends. If a customer buys few products, he/she has to wait in queue to get their products scanned using barcode technology. It consumes more time and man power is required to scan each and every product. In this paper I propose a Smart Shopping System using RFID and Zigbee technology which reduces time and man power. RFID technology is used to automatically identify the products and Zigbee technology is used to communicate wirelessly between Shopping Cart and Server. In Smart Shopping System an RFID tag is attached to every product and a Shopping Cart is equipped with an RFID reader. When a product is placed in cart, it automatically scans the product and displays the details of product on the LCD screen which is attached to cart. Each time a product is added in the cart the cost of products is added and displayed on screen. Hence billing is made at the shopping cart itself. After purchasing all the products the customer pays the bill and leaves the mall.
