Nowadays activities such as shopping at big malls is really increasing in various cities. We can see huge crowd at the shopping malls on public holidays ,weekends and specially during the festivals which can cause rush at the billing counters. After purchasing the products the customers need to wait in long queues at the billing counter for payments. At billing counter the cashier needs to scan each product using barcode scanner for calculating the amount of product to generate a bill which is very time consuming. In this project, we are going to implement the RFID card scanner on the trolley itself and an automatic billing system in the shopping malls using the WI-FI to transfer the data into the database . The structure of the trolley consists of a door which will block the products to be entered without scanning for security purpose. The trolley has the inbuilt product code reader. The use of product code reader is to read the RFID cards/tags attached to all products to define the name ,weight ,quantity and price of the products. Depending on the signal from the reader, the controller display the name and price of the each product on the LCD display. The wireless billing system is uses the Wi-Fi for data transfering to the cashier . A load cell has been attached so that even if the RFID is not read, the weight of the product is also been measured. If the weight of the products appears to be more than displayed on the LCD screen product code reader then an error message in billing system so that bill can be generated only for the scanned products.

In modern days, people are getting too busy in their works but still they need to spend time in shopping malls. In Shopping malls, customers face a difficulty to follow a queue for the process of billing, which takes a long time under huge crowd. Customer thought that, to avoid the standing time in the billing section at shopping malls. To overcome the above problems, we emerged the Bascart system. To increase the pace of a billing process, RFID tags in products, then the product is read by the barcode scanner which describes the cost of that product and is displays on the LCD screen attached in our shopping list. As customer buy their exact product its price is add on the previous list. The cost of the product is displayed on the LCD screen by using microcontroller through Zigbee Communication from host PC. Zigbee supports bidirectional communication between microcontroller and host PC. We have proposed the Weighing Sensor for the purpose of checking the weight of the items and it is directly stored in the server database. Customer get direct bill at the billing section which is already stored at host PC which automatically reduces the queue. Then GSM Module in our system is used to detect the Geo-position of the customer’s mobile for the process of intimating the shopping details of the customer through messages which is already updated in database.

<p>Shopping Mall is a complex of shops representing various merchandisers that enables the customers to buy all their needed things. As it is easier for people to come and buy all their things in a common place, shopping malls are crowded. As people are coming in large numbers to buy the groceries and house hold products for the full month, the billing counters are flooded with people. In order to avoid such large queues at the billing counter, we are coming up with Smart Cart using newly evolved RFID Technology. In our proposed method, the bill is automatically generated in the trolley as the customer purchases the product.</p>

In the present scenario, it is essential to have an automatic billing system for shopping malls, supermarket and other wholesale & retail stores. Numerous billing systems like barcode scanning mechanism-based systems or tag-based systems are available in the market. It is important to replace such existing system with better and robust systems so hereby we proposed “Smart Goods Billing Management and Payment System for Shopping Malls”. In this system, the basic fundamental is barcode scanning for products, but we replace the conventional barcode scanner for faster and better results. In our prototype, the android phone is being used as a barcode scanner for simple, better and portable barcode scanner. This scanner is connected wirelessly to MCU via Bluetooth module. MCU is also connected to PC/Laptop for creating the database of all customers, their products, and bills. This database also tracks the total sale and number of goods sold per day. In addition, RFID technology is implemented in this system for payment through card-based system. Simulation and hardware-based results are proposed in this paper.

The modern technology has increased the standard of living for the humans and the large crowds are seen at shopping malls. To save time for the customers,it is important to reduce the process of the billing time. This is done using 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 the final bill is generated, the customer pays the bill by using their Pre-charged cards provided by the shopping mall. The aim is to reduce the time consumption needed for the billing system.


Recently researches and many developments were going in the field of automation and embedded systems to develop and reduce the work of the manpower in industry as well as in public domain areas like Railway station (automatic ticket collection), Metro bus (online reservation), Flight (Auto Pilot mode) etc. To develop more Automation in and to help the blind people, old age and handicapped person we proposed a technique named as automatic trolley carrier navigation and the billing system. This method can be implemented in all shopping malls, big clothing shop, house hold appliances shops etc. It avoids the people to stand in a big queue and automatic billing can be done. Moreover it helps blind people, old age people, Handicapped Persons in the shopping malls make them to purchase in shopping malls by informing about the location of the product, quantity, price and automatic billing etc. The arrangement of the trolley consists of the robotic structure and servo motor which makes the trolley tonavigate and tell way of location of the product availability and price based on the user input. Theuser gives the command through the Bluetooth. Then the keypad passes the customer product information to the Micro-controller then the trolley moves automatically. The use of RFID reader is to scan theEPIC tag ID of allproducts to Identifythe name, price, Quantity of the products. Depending on the RF signal from the RFID -reader, it passes the information to the micro - controller and from that it identify the product and display the name , Quantity , price of the each product in the LCD display. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the any obstacles as well as the object.

<span>This paper proposes a cheap solution to be a starting point for building smart electrical power billing systems. Electrical power has many challenges issues in Iraq, one of these challenges and the most important is the Billing system. The smart power meter uses an Arduino Uno as the core for controlling the sensed data and transmits it to the electrical power unit for billing services. The system is constructed with two parts: the transmitting unit measures the current, voltage, power and power factor through the compact new sensor PZEM-004T. The data sensed and processed by the microcontroller which displayed the KWh on (2*16 LCD) display. This data also transmitted to the electrical power company unit via the global system for mobile communications (GSM) module (SIM900A) which is a dual band GSM/GPRS-</span><span>general packet radio service</span><span> modem. The receiving part is mainly dedicated for collecting the required consumed power data via the same (SIM900A) module and also can display it using (2*16 LCD) display. For the sake of saving these data, the receiver part uses SD ram for such purposes. With such proposed system the electrical power company can control and collect their fees monthly without loss and with minimum cost.</span>

The contemporary electronic technology is based on embedded system which deals with integrating numerous transistors on a single silicon chip. The main goal of growing technology is to make lifestyles turn out to be simpler and more comfy. Nowadays, people like visiting shopping malls that are characterized by their colorful variety and heterogeneity besides beauty. A shopping center is where people can discover all kinds of shops including eateries and cinema under one roof. In shopping malls, people can purchase the groceries, fruits, etc., so it requires a trolley to carry the things they purchase. Every time consumers have to make some calculations regarding those items & need to compare them with their budgets. After this procedure, the customer must wait for the billing. So to avoid the boredom of waiting in the billing queue our research proposal has been carried out on a novel concept that is “Smart Shopping Using Smart Trolley”. In this proposed work uses RFID tags to be displayed on the product. Whenever the customer places a product in the trolley, the RFID reader will check it and the price and cost of the product will be displayed on LCD display. The main advantage of this work is that it provides for the caring of child that the customer may bring and so it has introduced a child unit. It comprises of RF module that is used as a transceiver and once the child moves away from the customer through the parent it may get some indication. When the child moves from the trolley through a certain distance, the LED which is placed in the cart turns off. After the completion of shopping, billing can be done using QR code that is pasted either on the trolley or at the exit point.

Today's shoppers are looking for more than just provided by websites. Malls have always been a destination . Shopping malls are the place where people get their requirements like food items, clothing, accessories, electrical appliances and so on. Malls are still considered a destination, but it’s because they now offer amenities, Experiences to enhance shopping experience. Brick-and-mortar retail clearly isn't dead. Sometimes customers face the problem of having incomplete information about the products and have to waste their time at the billing counters by waiting for their turn to come. Continuous updation is required in the traditional billing system to advance the quality of shopping experience for the customers. In addition, the process of obtaining the products is rather complicated as the shoppers must carry a basket each & every time for finding the products they want and place them into the basket, also has to deal with the calculation of the expenses. In order to solve all these problems, this paper presents the development of effective methodology in shopping mart using QR code. In this smart shopping system, QR is provided to every product and hence shopper scan the QR code by QR code reader available in smartphone. All the details of product are provided to shoppers through QR code. The scanned product id will be transferred to the managing staff .Thus, proposed system saves time & provide comfort by no longer waiting in the queue for paying the bill & checkout.

A survey of people’s shopping habits has been completed recently and they've come up with the top 10 list of the things that people hate when supermarket shopping. These figures were taken from a survey of 2500 people on their supermarket shopping habits. There is no surprise on the number one issue - It was long queues at the check-outs with 62 per cent of the people surveyed stating this to be their big issue when shopping in a super market. So we have enhanced an idea to avoid long queues by providing SMART TROLLEY. Here we have provided a barcode reader and digital display in order to display the total amount of the shopping. It has two additional functionalities to make this Trolley more efficient. It has a LOAD CELL to detect the mal practice. In addition, we have provided IN SWITCH and OUT SWITCH for customer ease of use.
