SMART TROLLEY: A MORE ENHANCED SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
Abstract
Retail automation is transforming the shopping process through billing automation, product recognition, and customer support. In this paper, we suggest a smart shopping trolley that employs RFID technology, Arduino controller, and human following ability to enhance shop navigation and customer satisfaction. The system comprises an Arduino Uno, RFID reader, LCD display, IR sensors, and ultrasonic sensor. Experimental results demonstrate that the system not only provides efficient billing and product tracking with low latency and high precision but also keeps pace with the user constantly, thus enhancing physical convenience during shopping.
Directions for future efforts will include database scalability, sensor incorporation, and enhanced security mechanisms.
