Intelligent Fridge

What was unthinkable many years ago has already found its way into some households. Anyone who can call a smart fridge their own will soon no longer want to do without the many smart functions that make everyday life easier. Nevertheless, the higher purchase price is initially a deterrent. This is one of the reasons why we don't yet have a smart appliance in our kitchen. Temperature management, warning function or internet access are functions that are advertised on the manufacturers' websites for smart fridges.

Smart features from the manufacturer:

• Cooling temperature and holiday and super-freeze modes are settings that can be easily adjusted using a smartphone-
• Control the smart appliance via voice assistant
• Best overview of stored food thanks to an integrated camera that allows a view of the interior
• Save energy at the touch of a finger. Take a look inside without opening the door. Operate audio and video controls via the integrated display

Other features, such as the mobile fridge that communicates directly with the Alexa note, are unfortunately still a long dream of the future. If you think a little further about which features are desirable, you come up with examples such as

• Overview of the shelf life of stored food
• Consumption recommendation for the stored food
• Reordering of the food that has been removed
• Nutritional value graphic of the stored food

Intelligent storage without a new fridge

But what does it actually look like? Not everyone can or wants to buy a fridge like this. But it would still be nice to always know what is still in stock at home. Even if the fridge still belongs to the old generation. There is also a sustainability aspect to replacing the fridge, not just because you want to use the latest features. We have a little trick that means you don't have to do without modern storage adapted to your own needs. Make your life easy and let the Smantry app help you. It could look something like this:

• Create the fridge as a storage location in the Smantry app
• Scan the food using a barcode (take the opportunity to clear out and clean at the same time ;-) )
• You can check what's left in the fridge at any time on the go. For example, at work you can see what you can cook in the evening or when shopping you can see at a glance what still needs to be bought. Coordinate with family members or flatmates. This will prevent you from buying the same thing twice. Organise the food in your fridge by expiry date to use up items that are due to expire first.
