Project Overview

A leading home solutions company wanted to create a smart solution that makes everyday kitchen work easier and smarter. Many people struggle with tracking ingredients, restocking items, and finding the right recipes. To solve this, they planned a smart kitchen system that connects jars, a mobile app, and AI technology. The system helps track ingredients automatically, gives alerts when supplies are low, and even suggests recipes based on what's already available at home. What began as a simple idea grew into a powerful product that set the stage for a connected, AI-driven smart home experience.

Challenges

  • Managing a kitchen is often tiring and full of small problems. People forget to restock essentials, find expired items too late, and spend extra time searching for recipes that match what they already have. These small gaps create frustration and lead to food wastage.
  • While some smart home devices exist, they don't fully solve these issues. Our client wanted something more complete a system that could make kitchen management accurate, simple, and truly connected.

Key Challenges

  • 1
    Tracking ingredients in real time without errors
  • 2
    Reducing food wastage caused by missed expiry dates
  • 3
    Making meal planning easier with recipe suggestions from available items

Our Approach

  • To bring our client's vision to life, we followed a step-by-step process that combined research, design, and technology. Our goal was to create a solution that not only solved the problem but also felt natural and easy for people to use in their daily lives. We focused on blending hardware, software, and AI into a single connected system.
  • We worked closely with the client to understand user needs, test different ideas, and build a product that was practical, scalable, and future-ready. By keeping user experience at the center, we made sure the system was accurate, reliable, and simple to use.

How We Worked on the Project

  • 1
    Researched Kitchen Workflows & Market Gaps - We studied how people manage ingredients daily, common issues they face, and where existing smart kitchen tools fall short. This helped us define clear user needs and real-world use cases.
  • 2
    Designed an Integrated Ecosystem - Our team created smart jars with sensors and a mobile app for users. Each part was designed to connect smoothly, so users could track, shop, and cook without extra effort.
  • 3
    Prototyped, Tested & Refined - We built working prototypes, tested them in real-life kitchen scenarios, and refined the design based on feedback. This ensured high accuracy in ingredient tracking, easy app usability, and a reliable end-to-end system.

Our Comprehensive Solution

  • To address the challenges, we built a holistic smart kitchen ecosystem that connects hardware, software, and AI into one seamless platform. The solution was designed not just to track ingredients, but to make the entire kitchen experience smarter, more convenient, and more efficient.
  • Our approach focused on two main components that work together to deliver value for both end users and sellers

Smart Jar & Tray System

  • 1
    Each tray holds four smart jars, equipped with high-precision load cells to measure ingredient weight in real time.
  • 2
    A built-in e-ink display shows ingredient names, expiry dates, and quantities—visible even without the app.
  • 3
    Jars connect wirelessly with the mobile app, syncing data instantly.

User Mobile Application

  • 1
    Ingredient Management - Add names, set expiry dates, and track quantities.
  • 2
    Smart Notifications - Get alerts when items are running low or close to expiry.
  • 3
    Recipe Generator - Integrated with ChatGPT AI to suggest personalized recipes based on available ingredients.

Core Features & Innovations

  • 1
    Load Cell Technology - Accurate, real-time tracking down to the gram.
  • 2
    AI-Driven Recipes - Personalized cooking ideas tailored to each household’s inventory.
  • 3
    Connected Commerce - Easy integration with quick-commerce platforms for automatic restocking.
  • 4
    E-Ink Interface - Low-power, always-on displays that are simple and reliable.
  • 5
    Modular Platform - A flexible design that scales across households and integrates into wider IoT ecosystems.
