The Smart Basket is an automated, RFID-enabled shopping system designed to enhance the retail shopping experience by eliminating manual billing and reducing customer waiting time at checkout counters. The proposed system integrates an RFID reader, RFID tags, a microcontroller, and an LCD display into a shopping trolley, enabling automatic identification and pricing of products as they are placed inside or removed from the cart. Each product is equipped with a passive RFID tag, which is detected instantly by the RFID reader, and the corresponding information—such as product name, price, and updated total bill—is displayed to the user in real time. The system also incorporates an RFID card-based authentication mechanism to ensure secure access and user identity verification during purchase. The Smart Basket minimizes human intervention in billing, reduces errors associated with manual scanning, and increases overall operational efficiency in shopping malls and supermarkets. By providing a transparent, user-friendly, and time-saving shopping environment, the system contributes to improved customer satisfaction and smoother store management. This project demonstrates that RFID technology can serve as a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable solution for modern retail automation and lays the foundation for future integration of IoT, mobile payments, and AI-based analytics.
