An arduino based intelligent shopping system-mechatronics approach

Internet of Things (IoT): Let devices and physical objects connect each other by their sensing, communicating and processing capabilities. This paper develops an intelligent shopping using the shopping cart system to provide IoT service in a hypermarket. The major instances are difficulty in finding the specified products and standing in a big queue in the billing section. This really takes a long time and creates customer un-satisfaction to the owner. Each cart is provided with an RFID based smart shopping system with an IoT enabled technology. It proposes the quick pathfinding schemes which help the customer to find the location of the product. The main facility that the proposed model provides the customer only needs to carry an RFID smart card. It also provides a centralized and automated billing system using RFID technology. The whole information will be sent to IoT cloud server through a GSM module. If the product is purchased the number of product availability is low. The IoT cloud server alerts the seller through SMS. The system facilitates faster billing and standing in a queue reduces the average time required for shopping.
