An Automated Billing System for Smart Shopping Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Shopping malls can be crowded, making long checkout lines frustrating. This proposal outlines a "smart cart" system to streamline the billing process. The trolley has a RFID reader and camera to read the tags and capture images respectively. This trolley has two more cameras at two sides of the trolley to capture the images of the objects in the rack. This can accurately detect the objects and later the product has entered into the cart. The main objective of this project is to reduce the time required for this Accounting system at bill counters. If you want to remove a product you added, you will need to rescan the product. In case the object is not detected by the barcode then the camera attached to the RFID reader captures the images of the product and stores to cart using the Database. This is done using a smart shopping system based on RFID. Items that are put in a smart shopping cart are read one by one and the bill is generated and displayed. After completion of shopping, customers can exit the shop with their bills deducted automatically from their e-Wallet.
