RFID Technology in Retail: A Study on IoT-Based Shopping Cart System

Abstract

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized various industries, and the retail industry is no exception. The application of IoT technology in the retail sector has led to the development of smart and connected devices that enhance the customer experience and streamline operations. One such application is the IoT-based shopping cart, which uses sensors and microcontrollers to automate inventory management and real-time monitoring. The proposed IoT-based shopping cart is designed to automate and optimize the shopping experience. The RC522 sensor enables accurate and fast RFID scanning of products, which ensures real-time inventory management and tracking. The NodeMCU microcontroller handles data processing and wireless communication with the cloud server, ensuring seamless communication between the shopping cart and the backend system. The system is designed to provide personalized recommendations to customers based on their shopping history, which can enhance the customer experience and increase sales
