SMART TROLLEY USING RFID AND ZIGBEE

A shopping mall or complex is a place where people buy product/s for their regular use. The customers have to wait in long queues to get their products scanned using barcode scanner and get it billed. To get rid of this, we have proposed a new ‘Smart Shopping Trolley using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)'. This implementation is used to assist a person while shopping and also to avoid standing in long queues and thus saving time. The smart shopping trolley would consist of a microcontroller, Android Device, RFID Reader and an Electronic Display. The products in the shopping centers will have RFID tags to retrieve/access information about it. When a customer places a product in the smart trolley, the RFID Reader will read the Product ID and the information related to it will be stored in controller. There will be communication between android device, main server and billing system (gate system) via ZigBee module. The total amount of the products in the trolley will be calculated using android device and will be updated on server and the Central billing System
