Kitchen Genie: An Intelligent Internet of Things System for Household Inventory Management

Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering book series (LNEE,volume 605)

Abstract

This research paper is all about a system Kitchen Genie an intelligent kitchen that proposes a system that would make the household, especially the kitchen, intelligent. This will be done by keeping track of its inventory automatically, without the user having to interact with the products. This system would not only be useful in a household but it can also be adapted on a larger scale such as a restaurant kitchen or in a supermarket. It could be very useful for those families that both parents work and when they get home have to do all the housework besides going shopping, etc. Therefore, Kitchen Genie would save a lot of time. It could also save a lot of money for those people who have a large storage space. This makes it hard to keep track of what items they have and end up throwing them away because they are past their expiry date. This system does all that is mentioned above with the use of a NEX-6810 Ultra-High Frequency Mid-Range Radio Frequency Identification Reader and Higgs3 stickers. We have also designed a hardware (Circuit Diagram) and tested it to show the results.
