Abstract:
Nowdays, people are getting too busy in their schedule but still they need to spend time on their basic need like purchasing goods and
all stuffs from shopping market. In Shopping malls, long queues for billing waste their time again. Thus to reduce the time
consumption during shopping our system is introduced. In our Trolley system we use RFID tags on products that one wants to buy,
which are read by barcode scanner and the Cost of that product is displays on the LCD screen attached tour system.
As customer buy then exact product its Price is add on the previous amount. The cost of the product is given to microcontroller by
using Zigbee Communication from host PC. Zigbee supports bidirectional communication between microcontroller and host PC.
Customer get direct bill at the billing section which is already stored at host PC which ultimately reduces queue.

one of the interesting things and basic need for every
human. At present no such embedded system is used in
shopping. But this simple task cannot be easily perform
because customer has to wait for billing procedure for
longtime. The aim of this project is to utilize new updated
technologies and overcome from the difficulties during
shopping in consumer retail shop. Thus we are
proposing the smart trolley system by using microcontroller as
an updated technology.
The System consists of an RFID based trolley which
communicates with the billing counter wirelessly
through Zigbee Transmitter. Each trolley will consist of a same
type of hardware with unique trolley address. The
customers will be able to scan the items by their own and
the LCD screen on the shopping cart will keep
updating the total. The billing counter can at any point
of time inquire about the current items present in the
trolley. This will turn out to be very beneficial for Figure.1. Barcode scanner

VI.CONCLUSION
Taking into account the changing trend in retail shopping, we
come to a conclusion that the Intelligent Shopping Basket is
most certainly a definite necessity for the Retail
marketing industry to step up their portfolios, cope up
with the advancement in technology and save time and
manpower. This project simplifies billing process, makes it swift
and increases
the security using RFID technique.
