In this project, the scope of this study focuses on developing and improvising current existing sell and purchase process that uses grocery cart to be quicker and more efficient for both seller and customers. Nowadays, consumers at local grocery store are facing long queues at the payment counter, standing and waiting for a long period at the counter during payment session especially during peak hours. This has been very troublesome to consumers especially those elderly who have health issues, are in a rush or those who are carrying toddler. To solve this problem, a grocery cart attached with an RFID Scanning System Device was created. This product is fully designed and created to make consumers shopping and paying process faster hence, reducing time consumed by consumers at the payment counter. In this study, feasibility study which is intending to be a preliminary review of the facts to see if it is worthy of proceeding to the analysis phase are done. Further, the system programming was designed using Arduino IDE, Laragon and NodeJs Software. Next, the design of device casing was designed using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019 Software. As for its system, the system is implemented into two section which is the customer section and the retailer section. The result of experiment emphasized that RFID Grocery Cart reduce time consumed by consumer during shopping and paying process. Also, to improve this product there are some future-plan recommendation, one of it is to make the device more user friendly especially toward elderly.
