Abstract
Currently, self-checkout counters contribute about 90% of the supermarkets worldwide. However, there is no system to provide product details while shopping to customers and monitor theft which has led to loss in supermarkets and customer dissatisfaction, respectively. Nowadays, billing is a tedious task as customers have to stand in long queues to get their products barcode scanned. This paper proposes an architecture of a smart trolley which provides an automated billing, anti-theft system, and facilitates inventory management through a web application. This is achieved on a cloud-based platform using RFID and Wi-Fi technology. The goal of this proposed smart trolley system is to provide easily scalable, economical, and technology-oriented shopping system thereby reducing queuing time, anti-theft, and labor cost. Results show that there is a 26% reduction in time spent during shopping as compared to conventional shopping methods.
