OBJECTIVE:
• To provide effective customer service in supermarkets by rising the efficiency of total supply chain through quick billing of products.
• To achieve operational excellence and effective supply chain management.
ABSTRACT:
Shopping seems to be a good entertainment. But the huge queue in the supermarkets to scan the products frustrates the customers . Barcode scanning is a time consuming process engaging the customers to stick to the billing section for a long time. Hence there is a need to switch to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system for smart purchase and instant billing .
Our Application blends Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and wireless technologies to provide 'on the spot’ billing in supermarkets. Each product is given a specific RF- Tag. Unlike barcodes, it uniquely identifies the product. In addition, they do not require physical scanning. The RF-Tags are constantly transmitting their presence to the RF Reader positioned on the shopping trolley. When a product is dropped into the trolley, its name and cost are displayed instantly on the LCD fixed to the trolley.
At the check-out, the smart shopping trolley system transmits the list of items and total cost to the cashier using wireless technology. This promotes quick shopping and immediate pay without any queuing process. It reduces labor efforts and increases efficiency by minimizing errors.
