Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) is a giant network of interconnected devices that are used to obtain data from the physical surroundings and share it among the network of connected devices that perform a specified task based on that data. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) devices are one of the aforementioned devices that help IoT to obtain user data.

Using these technologies as a backbone, our goal is to develop a system that enables its users to order food by themselves and thus constitutes a self-ordering system. In order for us to implement this, we require hardware devices along with efficient software programs. The development of such a system thus can be divided into two steps, i.e. (i) development and integration of hardware required for the system, which includes an Arduino Uno microcomputer, RFID tags, RFID reader, and Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Module. (ii) Development of software that interacts with the user as well as with the hardware in order to fulfill the requirements of the system. This includes various web development frameworks like react.js, node.js, machine learning algorithm for prediction of estimated time of arrival (ETA) of orders.  

Keywords:IoT (Internet of things), RFID (Radio frequency identification) chips, RFID readers, Arduino Uno Microcomputer, Wi-Fi Module, ETA (Estimated time of arrival) calculation algorithm, Machine learning.
