The purpose of the project was to build a smart system which could be applied in daily life to improve the quality of life. A smart fridge helps users save time in buying necessary products by providing information about food inside the fridge. Furthermore, the smart fridge helps users take care of their health by warning about expired or opened products.
The project was built based on HTML, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, a Sirit Infinity 510 RFID reader, antennas and a fridge. HTML and PHP are programming languages for building the interface of the project. JavaScript, which is a programming language used in the client-side, was used to make the website become more fascinating. MySQL is a relational database management system for processing data. The RFID reader and antennas played important roles in the project. The set of RFID equipment had responsibility for reading and checking product data. The fridge was just a familiar fridge used at home.
Users could add their favourite food and dishes to the system which stored the information and updated the shopping list, so users ensured that they always had the wanted products in the fridge. Moreover, the system had some special features in protecting users’ health. The system listed all the expired products in the fridge and informed or warned about some opened products. Users would know the exact time when the product was opened and how long the product could be used after being opened. The main objective of the application was to prove that the RFID technology could be applied in daily life and was to provide a convenient, easy-to-use and smart system which could help people in improving the quality of life.
The result offers users a high-tech and multi-functional system enhancing the quality of life. Moreover, the project shows that the RFID technology is possible to be applied at home.
