INTERACTIVE SHOPPING CART WITH IOT INTEGRATION FOR ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Various items are purchased in shopping malls or markets using a shopping trolley. The acquisition of this product is a challenging process. Customers must pull the trolley each time to collect items simultaneously. After making a purchase, the customer wishes to settle the bill for their acquisition. During that period, they must endure an extended queue to have their products scanned using an RFID reader in conjunction with a barcode scanner and subsequently receive their bill. To amend that, customers must engage in prudent purchasing within the shopping mall. Each product must have an RFID barcode affixed for scanning with an RFID reader. The intelligent trolley will comprise an RFID reader and an LCD display. When a customer wishes to purchase a product, it is added to the trolley. It will scan and read the product, displaying its name and cost on the LCD. The cumulative cost of all acquired products will be incorporated into the final invoice, which will be stored in the Node MCU, serving as a memory unit. All of these are conducted in the trolley.
