Software Programming, Hardware Engineering And Assembly For Consumer Use

Online Grocery stores: Over the last two decades, rising internet and mobile phone penetration has changed the way we communicate and do business. E-commerce is relatively a novel concept. It is, at present, heavily leaning on the internet and mobile phone revolution to fundamentally alter the way businesses reach their

Technocart Corporation proudly brings you its flagship product, the E-Cart: ASSET (Automated Self Service Efficient Trolley). E-Cart, its shortened term, is a revolutionized push cart powered by electrical energy that employs RFID technology. The time spent in the conventional bar code scanning is eliminated and thus replaced by a much time efficient automatic scanning and price computation within the cart itself. Features and technicalities of the product and its complementary products Technocart Corporation shall be elaborated in the next

As mentioned in this report, the return on investment is not immediate but there are long-term advantages to using the Media Cart. The advertising and suggestions made to the consumer can cater to reducing excess inventory before spoilage occurs, improving the effectiveness of sales, and introduce consumers to brands which may interest him or her; these directives can increase sales and decrease loss. The on-board navigation system will help customers to find the products they are seeking; this allows the customer to find products without taking time from the customer service employees. Use of the navigation system also allows customer to find what products they are looking for; if they find the product at Kudler they are less likely to go to another store and give the sale to a competitor.

This project ‘Grocery store’ will focus on small aspect of the grocery enterprise simulating a customer buying items by selecting them on a form as if taking them from the shelves. They can then see their subtotal and tax and finish the transaction. A store employee level user can view certain reports on inventory, customer activity and personal information using data stored in the tables. Employees will also have to log in to use the system. Their information will appear in reports that managers run.

Portability of the customer rewards program is also critical to the evolution of Kudler Fine Foods. The group recommends that Kudler use a web-based Point of Sale system that will use the web browser to access and update data. This will also give the organization some disaster recovery and contingency options in the future. The use of many portable devices including tablets, laptops, and smartphone’s will give the organization portability and contingency with little to no application configuration.

The store could also develop an app in the long run where customers could send a grocery list to their cart from home that would come up on the display on the cart to make shopping a more convenient activity. At the end of the shopping session, the shopper simply walks out of the store with the cart where, at the door, the main reader receives a radiofrequency signal from the cart that supplies the main reader with the total sum of the purchases. The reader sends that total to a computer that charges the customer for their purchases on their credit card and sends an invoice to the customers’ phone within minutes. This will allow for grocery stores to be able to analyze customer preferences and buying habits in real time, which will allow them to be able to better tailor their selection to their customers.

Technological environment shows that there is more Point of Sales systems available with electronic shelf labels and scanner. In addition, self-checkout registers and advertising through mobile apps are getting more common.

Barringer will be used as a guide in providing a comprehensive assessment. In examining the competitive landscape of smartphone applications enabling consumers to scan and purchase grocery items, currently there are no competitors. There are store provided hand-held scanning devices in which items are scanned and downloaded at the checkout terminal.

One big change in today's consumer shopping is the use of smartphones. People are now browsing online for many of the things they want, and they are doing so when they are away from home. You are most likely one of these people as well. Using your smartphone, you do a quick search for a nearby restaurant to eat lunch or dinner, or perhaps a retail store and find a coupon for an item that is on sale or a store promotions Often the code can be read by the store clerk

Figure 14 shows the modified Economic Feasibility Summary worksheet. Using a 14 percent discount rate, it appears that the project breaks even in approximately 4.54 years. At first glance, the students may recommend that the project is not feasible, if its useful life is only three years. As the project is in its planning phase, the project team has not identified all benefits and costs. Arguably, this project is still viable, especially if the team emphasizes the custom order tracking system’s intangible benefits, such as customer service and employee morale.

To deal with these business problems, Morrisons could try to implement augmented and virtual reality in its future operations. First of all, it could apply the smart glasses to the daily operation. Smart glasses could be taken as a substitute for checkout machines so that both cashiers and customers could spend less time on the checkout process and make payment easier by using the glasses to scan bank cards directly. Moreover, Morrisons could fully replace handheld scanners and paper pick list with smart glasses. Once these glasses are being used, they can automatically record the inflows and outflows of products when scanning the barcode of products. The goods control system could track the sales of all the products and inform the real-time

Shopping at the grocery should be a quick process, but it is east to spend at least an hour due to just looking for items. The Smart Kart will revolutionize grocery shopping by having an LCD screen to show the fastest and most efficient route when using shopping lists, will suggest meal items and show location of items, show fastest checkout line, and provide self-checkout. This item will remove the hassle from searching the wide variety of items that grocery stores contain.

Computer hardware engineers research, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, and many more (Bureau of Labor Statistics). They design new computer hardware, create blueprints of computer equipment to be built. Test the completed models of the computer hardware that they design. Update existing equipment so that it will work will new software. Oversee the manufacturing process for the computer hardware. Maintain knowledge of computer engineering trends and new technology(Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Many grocery stores across the globe encounter the inevitable problem of long grocery checkout lines. Currently, the grocery industry cannot find an answer to this unambiguous problem. This is partially because cashiers have to scan and bag every item that the given individual is purchasing which can be quite time consuming and frustrating for customers. But what if this process was no longer necessary? The solution to this age old predicament is a new and innovative product called Grocery Gadget.

Software Based Approach: Hardware based approaches constitute only a part of the solution, they offer limited power knob options. Considering the continuously evolving hardware configurations and increasing hardware heterogeneity, data management software shall play an important role in energy optimization. Query optimization and physical data independence provide opportunities for software level control over power performance tradeoffs [7,32].
