The project involves developing a smart shopping trolley that automates the process of item identification, billing, and management.
It utilizes RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology to identify items placed in the trolley and Arduino microcontrollers for processing and control.
Hardware Components:
Arduino Microcontroller: The brain of the system, responsible for processing data from various sensors and controlling the system’s operations.
RFID Module: Used for item identification. Each item in the store is equipped with an RFID tag containing unique identification information.
LCD Module: Displays information such as the list of items in the trolley, billing details, and any user instructions.
Buttons: Used for user interaction, such as adding or removing items from the trolley.
Buzzer: Provides audio feedback to the user, such as confirming successful addition or removal of items.
System Functionality:
Item Identification: When an item with an RFID tag is placed in the trolley, the RFID module reads the tag’s information and sends it to the Arduino for processing.
LCD Display: The LCD module displays relevant information to the user, including the list of items in the trolley, their prices, and the total bill.
Adding and Removing Items: Users can interact with the system using buttons to add or remove items from the trolley. The system updates the display and billing information accordingly.
Billing: The system calculates the total bill based on the items in the trolley and displays it on the LCD module.
Buzzer Feedback: The buzzer provides audible feedback to the user, confirming successful addition or removal of items or any other relevant events.
User Interface:
The LCD module serves as the primary user interface, providing clear and concise information about the items in the trolley and the billing process.
Buttons allow users to interact with the system, adding or removing items as needed.
The buzzer enhances the user experience by providing feedback for successful actions or alerts for any errors or issues.
Benefits:
Streamlined Shopping Experience: The smart trolley simplifies the shopping process by automating item identification and billing, reducing the need for manual calculations.
Enhanced Efficiency: By utilizing RFID technology and Arduino microcontrollers, the system improves the efficiency of shopping operations, leading to shorter checkout times and reduced queues.
User-Friendly Design: The intuitive user interface and interactive features make the smart trolley accessible to a wide range of users, including those with limited technical knowledge.
