Nowadays, people are getting too busy in their schedule but still they need to spend time on their basic need like purchasing commodities from shopping market. In metro cities, we can see a huge rush at shopping malls on holidays and weekends. Consumer buy the commodities and put them in the trolley. After purchasing, one should approach counter for billing purpose. By using barcode reader, the cashier prepares the bill, which is a time consuming process .This results in long queues at the billing counters. This project presents an idea to develop a system in shopping malls to overcome the above problem. To overcome the problem, all products in the mall should be equipped with RFID tags and all trolleys should be equipped with a RFID reader and LCD screen. When one puts any product in the trolley its code will be detected automatically, the item name and cost will be displayed on the LCD; thereby the cost is added to the total bill. If we wish to remove the product from the trolley, you can take away the product, the amount of that specific product is deducted from total amount, and the same information passes to the central billing unit via X-bee module. Hence, the billing can be done in the trolley itself thereby saving a lot of time to the customers. Customers only pay the bill at central counter.
