dc.description.abstractThe growing crowds at shopping destinations like malls, grocery stores, supermarkets, and discount stores highlight the necessity of refining billing protocols to handle the increased number of shoppers. Moreover, considering the decline in sales experienced by physical stores like grocery stores in the face of growing online shopping trends, it becomes imperative to address this challenge and devise viable solutions. The Smart Shopping Cart project aims to enhance the retail shopping experience by leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to create a smart device that can be attached to standard shopping carts. By incorporating features such as RFID capabilities, MySQL database connectivity, and the Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller, the system provides seamless integration with user-friendly interfaces, allowing customers to interact with the shopping cart and scan products themselves effortlessly. This approach expedites the checkout process, reduces wait times, and improves operational efficiency for stores, while also offering valuable insights into consumer purchase patterns for inventory control and targeted marketing. By eliminating the need for manual scanning at checkout, customers save time and enjoy added convenience, thereby enhancing the overall shopping experience. Ultimately, Smart Carts offer an innovative application of IoT technology to streamline and modernize retail shopping, making it more efficient, convenient, and enjoyable for both customers and businesses alike.
