A Novel Approach for Identifying Expired Products Using Bar Code Scanner

Abstract

Supermarket is the place where consumers come to purchase their daily using products and pay for that. Now a days there are lots of expired products present in the market and Authentication is one of the most important processes for any consumer or customer to identify whether the product is within the limit of its expiry date. In our existing system there is no barcodes only manual entry of a product is done for billing or inventory system so customer have to wait long in line for their purchases to be processed. Then later barcode scanning is introduced for billing it provides fast access about the product price and discounts by scanning but it doesn’t provide the Product expiry date validation. In our proposed system, expiry date of the product is verified by a bar code scanner to avoid the unnecessary selling of expired products in retail shops, medicals, and supermarket. It controls the billing system to prevent from expired products added on bill or invoice.
