Intelligent Fridge Cameras

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The FridgeCam is on Display at CES 2017

— January 6, 2017 — Tech
FridgeCam is a new device debuted at CES 2017 that aims to make people's kitchens more efficient. The small camera fits onto one's refrigerator door and keeps track of the food inside through smart image processing. It then connects with an app to communicate with its user, offering a host of features.

The FridgeCam combines the image recognition software in the camera itself with barcode scanning available through the FridgeCam app. When placing food in the fridge, users just scan the barcode with their smartphone first and the app will automatically keep track of its expiry date.

Since the camera is able to recognize different foods, it can also automatically make recommendations for recipes. Not only does this allow people to get creative with their meals, but it also prevents food from going to waste.

1. Smart Home Appliances - The intelligent fridge camera technology can be applied to other smart appliances, enabling efficient tracking and communication.
2. Image Recognition Software - The use of image recognition software in devices like the FridgeCam opens up possibilities for other industries, such as retail and inventory management.

3. Food and Beverage - Barcode scanning apps can revolutionize inventory management, food tracking, and personalized recommendations in the food and beverage industry.
