EASESHOP: AN ANDROID APP BASED AUTONOMOUS SHOPPING CART

In the living world, the technology is advancing day-by-day in different areas like Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, automation and so on. The main focus of this paper is to improve the process of shopping for customers and saving their time because people spend more time in the supermarket due to the traditional billing process. For example, customers purchase several items in the supermarket. While purchasing they might face some problems like a long queue in a billing section and overshooting the budget. Sometimes people also find it difficult to locate an item easily and this takes time. To overcome this scenario, we proposed an IoT based Smart Shopping Cart. It consists of three NodeMCU boards, RFID module, Motor driver, Chassis, a centralized Database and an Android app “EaseShop”. The customers can add products into the cart using the app. During shopping, the customer can scan the required products using RFID and the details will be displayed on the LCD and will be updated in the centralized database. The payment can be done through the app. The customer can control the movement of the Trolley using the App
