Fridge-O-matic

Nowadays, refrigerators are a must when it comes to storing food items over a longer period of time. Refrigerators make people’s lives simpler when it comes to storage of food items. Now, a concept has been implemented wherein the user interfaces with the refrigerator and do various jobs which are related to not only storage of food items but also buying groceries online in urgency. This project aims at not only making the lives of common people simpler but it also makes the lives of physically disabled people simpler. Existing systems used barcode or RFID scanning to keep track of the stock. The products currently available are expensive as the user has to purchase the whole refrigerator. The Smart Refrigerator module is designed to convert any existing refrigerator into an intelligent cost effective appliance using sensors. The smart refrigerator is capable of sensing and monitoring its contents. The smart refrigerator is also able to remotely notify the user about scarce products via android app and email. It also facilitates the purchase of scarce items by providing a link of the online vendor of that particular item. The core functionality of the smart fridge, is to maintain, with minimum effort, an inventory list of food items which might want to be purchased as soon as they run out.
