I.W.S - Intelligent Warehouse System

Intro:

It's the end of the day and you want to go home. On the way home you want to go to the supermarket to buy groceries for a delicious meal. Unfortunately, you no longer know what you have at home or whether it was used up by another family member.

Or you simply want more control over your household in general and you have a great interest in IoT devices. Then I have just the thing for you.

What solutions already exist:

There are numerous apps with different solutions. With an app, the cell phone is used as a scanner. However, you always have to use both hands and scan each individual product. Which makes it very time consuming.

Another solution is input via voice control. However, the time required for maintenance is even greater here.

Another alternative is offered by the refrigerator manufacturer itself. You can access the fridge via the Internet and view the food in the fridge using an integrated camera. However, a good internet connection is required here and the refrigerator must be clearly arranged. It's also the most expensive alternative.

All of these solutions require a minimum level of complexity that you don't want to impose on children or the elderly, for example.

My Idea:

With the IoT device from I.W.S, the food is automatically recorded via the barcode when it is sorted into the refrigerator or pantry and the information with the weight is sent to an app. The weight measurement can be assigned to which shelf you put it and how much of it is left.

The implementation and handling is very simple. You create an account on the I.W.S-App and connect the intelligent board to it. The board will then scan and transmit the data and, via the app, you can manage these foods with various functionalities.

I.W.S App

The functions are as follows:

• View the entire inventory
• View inventory sorted by category
• Viewing the location via the board id
• View the expiration date with automatic reminder
• Automatic shopping list that can be expanded manually.
• Recipe suggestions based on the food in the pantry or in the fridge
• Analysis of the nutritional values

Up to 7 family members can use the app via one account and thus keep an overview of the household.

Benefits of using I.W.S

• Low complexity
• Time saving
• Money saving
• Food is protected from spoilage by early detection
• Health can be improved because you can respond better to consumer behavior
• Storage information (Humidity Sensor, Light Sensor, Temperature Sensor)
