Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing human lives by connecting everyday objects together. Nowadays, shopping at big malls is a daily activity in metro cities. One can see a huge rush at malls on holidays and on special discount days. People purchase different items and put them in trolleys and go to the billing counter for payments. During that time, they have to wait in a long queue to get their products scanned using an RFID reader with the help of a barcode scanner and get them billed. To modify that, customers have to purchase in a smart way in shopping malls. Each and every product is attached with RFID tags, which, when placed into a smart shopping cart, can be automatically read by a cart equipped with an RFID reader, so that the billing can be conducted from the shopping cart itself. In this way, customers can avoid waiting in a long queue at the checkout points. For this system, additional smart shelving can be added and equipped with an RFID reader to monitor stock, updating the central server. The server knows the status of the items in the store. Inventory management also becomes much easier because all items can be automatically read by an RFID reader instead of manually scanned by laborers.Keywords : Smart Trolley, RFID Scanner, Arduino Uno, Shopping Malls, ESP32
