1. INTRODUCTION
The barcode system is no longer the best
way to business operation. Customers are tired
of waiting in long, slowly moving checkout line
in departmental stores, especially, in holidays.
With the decrease of prices through efficiencies
of technology and large-scale production of
semiconductor wireless components, there has
been a search for new markets in which
semiconductor chips can be used. This has led to
the use of RFID also known as smart tags. RFID
stands for Radio Frequency Identification. In a
very interesting article, the San Jose Mercury
News tells us about Charles Walton, the man

2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Shopping in the present day usually
involves waiting in line to get your items
scanned for checkout. This can result in a great
deal of wasted time for customers. Furthermore,
the technology currently used in checkouts
barcodes - is from another era, developed in the
1970s. Today barcodes are found on almost
every item. Barcodes are a universal technology
in that they are the norm for retail products;
stores that own a barcode reader can process
barcodes and imprint it on the products. The
most important factor that is involved in
barcode scanning is that the product should be
in the Line of Sight (LOS) of the reader in order
to get the barcode imprinted on the product
scanned.
Nowadays, if a consumer would like to buy
something at a shopping mall, consumers need
to take the particular items from the display
shelf and then queue up and wait for their turn
to make payment. Problem will surely arise
when the size of a shopping mall is relatively
huge and sometimes consumers don’t even
know where certain items are placed. Besides,
consumers also need to queue for a long time at
the cashier to wait for turn to make payment.
The time taken for consumers to wait for the
customers in front of the queue to scan every
single item and then followed by making
payment will definitely take plenty of time.
This condition will surely become worst during
the season of big sales or if the shopping mall
still uses the conventional way to key in the
price of every item by hand to the cash register.
On the other hand, consumers often have to
worry about plenty of things when going to the
shopping mall.[1]
For example, most consumers will worry the
amount of money brought is not enough to pay
for all the things that wanted to be bought until
© 2015, IRJET.NET- All Rights Reserved
it comes to our turn to pay at the cashier,
consumers might also worry that whether
certain food product available at the shopping
mall are suitable for vegetarian since most of the
food product might not be stated clearly. It will
be a great convenience if the information of
items that are available in the shopping mall can
be obtained. It will be a great improvement on
the existing system if the technology of RFID is
implemented. Consumers will be able to get
information of all the items at shopping mall,
total up the prices of items as they shop, and
save unnecessary time at the cashier.[2]
3. EXISTING METHOD
Currently available method in shopping
malls is barcode method. In this method there
are barcode labels on each product which can be
read through specially designed barcode
readers. A barcode reader (or barcode scanner)
is an electronic device for reading printed
barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a
light source, a lens and a light sensor translating
optical
impulses
into
electrical
ones.
Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain
decoder circuitry analyzing the barcode's image
data provided by the sensor and sending the
barcode's content to the scanner's output
port.[3]
4. PROPOSED METHOD
If compared, RFID technology is found to
be more comprehensive than barcode
technology. It is possible to read RFID tags from
a greater distance. An RFID reader can access
the information of the tag from a distance of
around 300 feet, whereas barcode technology
can't be read from a distance of more than 15
feet. RFID technology also scores over barcode
technology in terms of speed. RFID tags can be

interpreted much faster than barcode tags.
Barcode reading is comparatively slower
because it requires a direct line of sight. On an
average, a barcode reader takes around one
second to successfully interpret two tags,
whereas in the same time the RFID reader can
interpret around 40 tags. RFID tags are well
protected or either implanted inside the product,
and hence is not subjected too much wear and
tear. Interpreting a barcode requires a direct line
of sight to the printed barcode, because of which
the barcode is printed on the outer side of the
product, and is thus subjected to greater wear
and tear. It also limits the re-utilization of
barcodes. As barcode lacks read and write
facility, it is not possible to add to the
information already existing on it. On the other
hand rewriting on RFID tags is possible

7.2 RFID READER
RFID readers or receivers are composed of a
radio frequency module, a control unit and an
antenna to interrogate electronic tags via radio
frequency (RF) communication (Sarma et al.
2002).The reader as shown in fig 7.2 powers an
antenna to generate an RF field. When a tag passes
through the field, the information stored on the chip
in the tag is interpreted by the reader and sent to the
server, which, in turn, communicates with the
integrated library system when the RFID system is
interfaced with it (Boss 2004). Radio frequency
identification (RFID) in a variety of ways including
automatic identification and data capture (AIDC)
solutions. We pride ourselves in providing customers
with inexpensive RFID solutions that integrate well
with other systems.

reflected back from the RFID tag into digital
information that can then be passed on to
computers that can make use of it .
7.3.1 TYPES OF RFID TAGS
Active
passive tags
PASSIVE RFID TAGS
Passive RFID tags have no internal power
supply. The minute electrical current induced in
the antenna by the incoming radio frequency
signal provides just enough power for the CMOS
integrated circuit in the tag to power up and
transmit a response. Most passive tags signal by
backscattering the carrier wave from the reader.
This means that the antenna has to be designed
both to collect power from the incoming signal
and also to transmit the outbound backscatter
signal. The response of a passive RFID tag is not
necessarily just an ID number; the tag chip can
contain non-volatile, possibly writable EEPROM
for storing data. Example of passive tag shown in
fig 7.3.1
7.3 RFID TAGS
This technology is similar in concept to a
cell phone. RFID is a broad term for technologies
that use radio waves to automatically identify
people or objects. There are several methods of
identification, but the most common is to store a
serial number that identifies a person or object,
and perhaps other information, on a microchip
that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the
antenna together are called an RFID transponder
or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to
transmit the identification information to a
reader. The reader converts the radio waves

The tag functions without a battery; these
tags have a useful life of twenty years or
more.
The tag is typically much less expensive
to manufacture
an LCD. Inexperienced designers do often not
attempt using this interface and programmers
because it is difficult to find good documentation on
the interface, initializing the interface can be a
problem and the displays themselves are expensive.
The tag is much smaller (some tags are the size
of a grain of rice). These tags have almost
unlimited applications in consumer goods and
other areas.
LCD has single line display, Two-line display, four
line display. Every line has 16 characters.
7.5 ZIGBEE PRO
ACTIVE RFID TAGS
Unlike passive RFID tags, active RFID tags
have their own internal power source, which is
used to power the integrated circuits and
broadcast the signal to the reader. Active tags
are typically much more reliable (i.e. fewer
errors) than passive tags due to the ability for
active tags to conduct a "session" with a reader.
In turn, they are generally bigger and more
expensive to manufacture, and their potential
shelf life is much shorter. Many active tags today
have practical ranges of hundreds of meters, and
a battery life of up to 10 years. Some active RFID
tags include sensors such as temperature logging
which have been used to monitor the
temperature of perishable goods like fresh
produce or certain pharmaceutical products.
Active tags typically have much longer range
(approximately 500 m/1500 feet) and larger
memories than passive tags, as well as the ability
to store additional information sent by the
transceiver.
7.4 LCD
LCDs can add a lot to your application in
terms of providing a useful interface for the user,
debugging an application or just giving it a
"professional" look. The most common type of LCD
controller is the Hitachi 44780, which provides a
relatively simple interface between a processor and

The XBee and XBee Pro radio is made by Digi
(formerly Maxstream) which is shipped with
firmware implementing the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol.
These modules use the IEEE 802.15.4 networking
protocol for fast point-to-multipoint or peer-to-peer
networking. However, the most different part
between XBee and XBee Pro is they have different
cover distance range for communicate with own
module. XBee can be covers around 30m at indoor
and 100m at outdoor. Inversely, XBee Pro can cover
higher distance range than XBee which is 100m at
indoor and 1500m at outdoor. Both devices that has
a UART interface can connect directly from
microcontroller to pins of RF Module (XBee/XBee
Pro). Using UART interface, we can use this wireless
devices to communicate between microcontroller to
microcontroller (two PICs) or between PC to
microcontroller.[4]
8. ADVANTAGES
1. Locating products through system search, which
then displays a map with both cart and product
location thus avoiding the waste of time searching
for products that often change place.
2. The offer of multiple navigation trajectories inside
the supermarket based on the consumer’s shopping
list or on system’s suggestion.
3. Shopping list suggestions based on previous visits
by monitoring navigational trajectories inside the
supermarket and choice of products, something

which helps the consumer remember any needed
product.
9. APPLICATIONS
1. We implement to simplify the billing process, make
it swift & increase the security using RFID technique.
This will take the overall shopping experience to a
different level.
2. Automatic billing of products by using RFID
technique will be a more viable option in the future.

The tag functions without a battery; these
tags have a useful life of twenty years or
more.
The tag is typically much less expensive
to manufacture
an LCD. Inexperienced designers do often not
attempt using this interface and programmers
because it is difficult to find good documentation on
the interface, initializing the interface can be a
problem and the displays themselves are expensive.
The tag is much smaller (some tags are the size
of a grain of rice). These tags have almost
unlimited applications in consumer goods and
other areas.
LCD has single line display, Two-line display, four
line display. Every line has 16 characters.

ACTIVE RFID TAGS
Unlike passive RFID tags, active RFID tags
have their own internal power source, which is
used to power the integrated circuits and
broadcast the signal to the reader. Active tags
are typically much more reliable (i.e. fewer
errors) than passive tags due to the ability for
active tags to conduct a "session" with a reader.
In turn, they are generally bigger and more
expensive to manufacture, and their potential
shelf life is much shorter. Many active tags today
have practical ranges of hundreds of meters, and
a battery life of up to 10 years. Some active RFID
tags include sensors such as temperature logging
which have been used to monitor the
temperature of perishable goods like fresh
produce or certain pharmaceutical products.
Active tags typically have much longer range
(approximately 500 m/1500 feet) and larger
memories than passive tags, as well as the ability
to store additional information sent by the
transceiver.
7.4 LCD
LCDs can add a lot to your application in
terms of providing a useful interface for the user,
debugging an application or just giving it a
"professional" look. The most common type of LCD
controller is the Hitachi 44780, which provides a
relatively simple interface between a processor and

The XBee and XBee Pro radio is made by Digi
(formerly Maxstream) which is shipped with
firmware implementing the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol.
These modules use the IEEE 802.15.4 networking
protocol for fast point-to-multipoint or peer-to-peer
networking. However, the most different part
between XBee and XBee Pro is they have different
cover distance range for communicate with own
module. XBee can be covers around 30m at indoor
and 100m at outdoor. Inversely, XBee Pro can cover
higher distance range than XBee which is 100m at
indoor and 1500m at outdoor. Both devices that has
a UART interface can connect directly from
microcontroller to pins of RF Module (XBee/XBee
Pro). Using UART interface, we can use this wireless
devices to communicate between microcontroller to
microcontroller (two PICs) or between PC to
microcontroller.[4]
8. ADVANTAGES
1. Locating products through system search, which
then displays a map with both cart and product
location thus avoiding the waste of time searching
for products that often change place.
2. The offer of multiple navigation trajectories inside
the supermarket based on the consumer’s shopping
list or on system’s suggestion.
3. Shopping list suggestions based on previous visits
by monitoring navigational trajectories inside the
supermarket and choice of products, something

which helps the consumer remember any needed
product.
9. APPLICATIONS
1. We implement to simplify the billing process, make
it swift & increase the security using RFID technique.
This will take the overall shopping experience to a
different level.
2. Automatic billing of products by using RFID
technique will be a more viable option in the future.
3. The system based on RFID technique is efficient,
compact and shows promising performance.
