Abstract
This paper focuses on a technical solution to a specific modern problem which is food wastage; which if not handled efficiently, may further lead to a plethora of socio-economic issues. This paper deals with the designing of a Smart Refrigerator, using the Internet of Things (IoT), that will help in the successful monitoring of food items kept inside the refrigerator. It defines the working of the Smart Refrigerator, which is equipped to determine by itself when a food item needs to be replenished and also the kind of food items stored inside the refrigerator. The system is built with Raspberry Pi, in addition to the camera(s), which are hooked up to the Raspberry Pi board, for capturing the images of the various food items. The proposed system design will also be smart enough to interact with the user through an Android application to notify the current status and quantity of food items stored inside the refrigerator. With this smart device, the user will be easily prompted about the food items that are less in quantity inside the refrigerator, which can help the user to refill the necessary food items as soon as possible.
