Abstract

Shopping Mart concerns for shopping various items and accessories offline. In shopping mart, basically customers choose the liked items from the shelves and keep it on the basket trolley and after selecting all the required items, the customer reach to the billing counter for bill all the selected items in the basket. The person in the billing counter pick product one by one, from bill tray read the bar code of each item with the help of RFID and generate the bill. In the present scenario, it seems that the numbers of customers are increasing to purchase their required products from shopping mart due to the fact that all the items are availed from one roof. Even though shopping mart has many billing counters, but they cannot manage proportionate to customer arriving at billing counter and customer has to wait in anyone of the billing counter queue. This leads to wastage of time for each customer waiting in the queue, as service for each customer increases or decreases proportionate to number of products selected by each customer and in total, average service time increases. In order to avoid this situation, thought provoking idea is to automate the basket trolley with auto bill calculation of the selected products and filled in the basket by the customer so that service time reduced.
