Smart Queue Shopping Using RFID System

It is generally observed that billing at shopping stores takes a lot of time, especially during holidays and weekends. A person in India visits a grocery store 1.6 times every 15 days and spends nearly 43 min there. Therefore, it is necessary to have an efficient mechanism, which would help people to shop in smarter way. With this system, we have come up with a solution to the problem of long queues while shopping in a mall or a store. So, our solution uses the concept of Radio Frequency Identification. It is necessary to have RFID tags (transponder) embedded on all the products. So, when the purchased product comes in the range of antenna, the passive tag’s circuit gets activated and sends the prestored data. On the other side, reader (transceiver) will receive these data and send it to the computer. This helps in establishing a very efficient way of billing significantly helping customers save a lot of time. The aim of this solution is to put an end to the long queues we encounter at the shopping centers. The customer has to just drop in his purchases at the RFID zone and head to the billing counters for payment thus establishing a very unique and efficient shopping practice, which is much needed in these modern times.
