  • Abstract:
  • In the contemporary retail landscape, managing large crowds efficiently within shopping malls is a persistent challenge. To address this issue, this paper proposes an innovative solution utilising Arduino microcontrollers to develop a Smart Shopping Cart system integrated with RFID technology. The core of the system revolves around Arduino microcontrollers, which serve as the brains of the smart shopping carts. These Arduino boards are equipped with RFID readers and sensors, allowing them to detect and scan items placed inside the cart in real-time. Each item in the cart is tagged with an RFID tag, which contains unique identification information. As customers navigate through the store, the Arduino-powered smart shopping cart continuously reads the RFID tags of the items placed inside. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to a central processing unit, where it is aggregated and processed to update the virtual cart in real-time. The Arduino microcontroller communicates with the central system using IoT protocols, ensuring seamless integration and data exchange. Upon completion of shopping, customers can review the items in their virtual cart on a built-in display. The final bill is automatically generated, consolidating all scanned items along with their respective prices. To facilitate payment, customers can utilise pre-charged cards provided by the shopping mall, with the Arduino system seamlessly interfacing with the payment gateway for swift and hassle-free transactions. The utilisation of Arduino microcontrollers offers several advantages, including cost effectiveness, versatility, and ease of integration with RFID technology. By leveraging these capabilities, the proposed Smart Shopping Cart system enhances retail efficiency by reducing billing time, minimising queues, and improving overall customer satisfaction. 6 In conclusion, the integration of Arduino-based Smart Shopping Carts with RFID technology represents a promising solution for streamlining retail operations and enhancing the shopping experience. As retailers seek to embrace digital transformation and meet the evolving needs of consumers, the adoption of such innovative technologies is paramount for staying competitive in the modern retail landscape.
