Abstract
Containers such as shopping carts and shopping baskets take advantage of fraud detection systems in place with RFID cash registers in stores. The weight of the container is obtained when entering the store and the weight of the shopped articles is correlated with the list of the articles detected by the RFID reader of the cash register. Recognizing a particular container in the store is done using RFID technology with an RFID tag integrated in the structure of the container. The RFID tag can also contain information such as the weight, size, color, type, form, etc. of container.
