Novel Method of Shopping using Smart Trolley

Shopping centre consists of variety of product items like food, beverages and household products. The main aim of shopping centre is to provide availability of all goods and conserve the time of the consumer. But sometimes consumer gets irritated by waiting in the queue at billing counter and they can confused while estimating the overall cost of all the goods with the money in their pocket before billing. To defeat these difficulties we have designed a smart trolley using Barcode scanner and Arduino. In this system, the consumer cannot be wait in the queue for the scanning of each products for the purpose of billing. Shopping centres provide the membership card to the consumers. When the consumer inserts the membership card in the trolley then only it acts as smart. Otherwise it works as a normal trolley. By using this method, shopping centres have the opportunity to increase the number of consumers.
