💡Project Idea:
Long billing queues in malls and supermarkets can be frustrating. This project solves that problem by integrating an auto-billing system into the shopping cart itself. Based on an 8051 microcontroller and RFID technology, the system detects items added to or removed from the cart in real-time, calculates the total bill, and displays it on an LCD screen. The customer simply adds/removes products, presses the billing button at the end, and exits with a quick verification using a master RFID card by the shopkeeper.
