A Unified Analysis Approach for Hardware and Software Implementations
This addresses improving the shopping experience in supermarkets for customers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing IoT implementations without a clear novel breakthrough.
The paper tackles the problem of enhancing in-store grocery shopping by introducing SysMART, a system that uses cutting-edge technology to simplify and reduce shopping time while monitoring perishable products, but it does not provide concrete numerical results.
Smart gadgets are being embedded almost in every aspect of our lives. From smart cities to smart watches, modern industries are increasingly supporting the Internet-of-Things (IoT). SysMART aims at making supermarkets smart, productive, and with a touch of modern lifestyle. While similar implementations to improve the shopping experience exists, they tend mainly to replace the shopping activity at the store with online shopping. Although online shopping reduces time and effort, it deprives customers from enjoying the experience. SysMART relies on cutting-edge devices and technology to simplify and reduce the time required during grocery shopping inside the supermarket. In addition, the system monitors and maintains perishable products in good condition suitable for human consumption. SysMART is built using state-of-the-art technologies that support rapid prototyping and precision data acquisition. The selected development environment is LabVIEW with its world-class interfacing libraries. The paper comprises a detailed system description, development strategy, interface design, software engineering, and a thorough analysis and evaluation.
