Nowadays shopping in supermarkets, malls, marts and other commercial places becomes a very important part of human life. Apart from just shopping, these places offer so many entertainment platforms for every age group of people under one roof. Therefore, to attract the customers, the shop owners are always trying to introduce unique flavour in their shopping platforms, such as: Digital Payment methods, Automatic controlling systems, location indicator of the particular store, Smart Trolley and etc. Shopping Trolley is always hidden but a very crucial part of your shopping. Here, we are putting this hidden component into the central attraction for the shopping. In our proposed invention idea (Smart Trolley), we are planning to put so many customer friendly features into the trolley, which takes the customer's shopping experience into another level. In our proposed Smart Trolley system, we are planning to incorporate smart lock, smart pooling, product scanners, location indicator, weighing machine, e-payment system and product reminder/assistant. In the Covid-19 pandemic, technology has played a very important role in the smooth run of human life and it has also convinced the young as well as old people to make their life align with the recent advancements. With this emphasis, our invention, “Smart Trolley” will give the smart, safe and secure shopping experience to the customers as well as store owners too. Business retail's owners can also adapt the proposed system in their business platforms because the implementing cost will also be adjusted in the long run as the proposed system will help to reduce the supporting staff size.

The invention relates to a transport equipment with at least one transport device (1a) which is individualised by an identification mean, which has at least one goods depositing device and at least one handle and which can be stacked with respectively identical transport devices, wherein the transport equipment has at least two power-supplied electronic devices arranged on an identical and/or on different transport devices, of which at least one performs the function of a user interface and at least one performs the function of a detection device, and which each have integrated data-processing means and means for wireless data transmission.

The invention is characterised in that each power-supplied electronic device can be individualised by at least one identification means using a machine-detectable identifier, in that the power-supplied electronic devices are arranged on the transport equipment in such a way that the spatial position of at least one further electronic device on the transport equipment can be determined by the at least one detection device, and in that the transport equipment is configured to determine the respective identifier and the respective spatial position on the transport device using the data-processing means and the means for wireless data transmission for at least two of the power-supplied electronic devices such that they can be assigned to one another.

The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing, operating and maintaining the transport equipment.
