, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to automated cooking. The present invention more particularly relates to a Smart Kitchen and Grocery Management System without human intervention using IoT.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Now a days, things are changing rapidly in the world. Many machines are developed which made human life easier. Now, peoples are so much busy in their work. People think that there should be a technology that will reduce their work load. Internet of Thing fulfils this requirement of people. People regularly go in kitchen for cooking the food. But it will become a dangerous situation if there is leakage in gas cylinder.
The rise of the term Smart Homes in recent years is due to the possibility of applying Internet of Things (IoT) for the home automation.
Grocery management is managing the grocery items which we have in our kitchen. This is done by keep tracking of the grocery items in each container. In our kitchen we are having many grocery items in many forms. Like solids or liquids or in powder forms. Each item is stored in its each respective container. These grocery levels may fall depending upon our usage in daily days. This usage may vary for every day. If their level goes down we have buy and again have to store. Grocery Management includes keep tracking their levels every day irrespective of the container and forms and indicating us that this particular grocery level is low which you have to buy if their level goes down. In this hectic world people may don’t have the time to check into the grocery levels. If they continue using the grocery items without checking into it, one day they will gets emptied without their knowledge. At that time, it will affect the cooking process. If they are on the process of cooking, some dishes cannot be done without some grocery items. In that situation they won’t have the time to go to the grocery store to buy that one particular item in order to complete cooking. It leaves only anger and frustration if they are in a hurry to complete it. Finally the entire cooking will become mess. This is why we have keep track of the grocery items in order to manage it. This grocery management can also be done manually without any systems. For manual management, either we have to keep in memory or we have to write it down. It may be better for home makers but for carrier people it will be hard to notice and remember little things. Especially in metro cities mostly all houses contain working husband and wife. For those families it is really hard. If they went out for shopping there may be chances for them to forget to shop some groceries. At that time they have to remember which item is needed and how much it is needed. It is not only buying the item but also concerns the quantity of buying each item. That is why manual management of grocery is very hard and we need some system to manage it.
Presently multi day's life for everybody has turned out to be so riotous and tedious, at such time a brilliant framework is required at our kitchen too. To put on records and watching all the basic need at home is troublesome.
So there is a need for kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things (IOT) to collect and maintain the data about grocery level. The present invention includes the stock level of all items, items which need to buy, quantity need to buy, often use items. The present invention also reduces the risks in Kitchen using Internet of Things.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The main object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things (IOT) to collect and maintain the data about grocery level.
Another object of the present invention is to include the stock level of all items, items which need to buy, quantity need to buy, often use items. The present invention also reduces the risks in Kitchen using Internet of Things.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a system for a kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things (IOT) to collect and maintain the data about grocery level is disclosed. The system is having ultrasonic sensor, Arduino microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, Cloud, Mobile Application. The ultrasonic sensor is attached to each kitchen container containing grocery items in different forms. This forms the sensor node. Then the sensor nodes are connected to the Arduino microcontroller. The Wi-Fi is connected to the microcontroller. The grocery level information from the sensors are pushed into the cloud using the Wi-Fi module. In the cloud, the data is stored and analyzed. This analyzed result can be visualized using the mobile application.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Fig 1 is the flowchart for kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things (IOT) to collect and maintain the data about grocery level is disclosed.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS:
The present invention is a kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things. The present invention helps for better grocery management, the levels of grocery items is kept on tracking in each containers daily, Indicate us that the particular grocery level is low when its level falls below its threshold and Have to buy the needed item and store it again in the containers. Our undertaking proposes a brilliant framework for doing the previously mentioned things. Both this circumstances are issues. Framework that can give ceaseless dimension estimation and can tell us about low dimension of substance is required to keep away from these issues. This unit keeps the client advised about the amount changes in the unit utilizing the Internet of Things innovation. In this smart grocery level management system there is no chance for missing any item or chances for buying extra quantities. If we connect the contact of the shop owner, we don’t even need to go to the shop to buy all items. If we place the order all the items which we need to buy will be delivered from the shop to our door step. Through this time is saved for shopping which will be more effective for working people and makes them to concentrate in other works.
In one embodiment, The system is having ultrasonic sensor, Arduino microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, Cloud, Mobile Application. The ultrasonic sensor is attached to each kitchen container containing grocery items in different forms. This forms the sensor node. Then the sensor nodes are connected to the Arduino microcontroller. The Wi-Fi is connected to the microcontroller. The grocery level information from the sensors are pushed into the cloud using the Wi-Fi module. In the cloud, the data is stored and analyzed. This analyzed result can be visualized using the mobile application.
In another embodiment, the system uses the Ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the distance using the ultrasonic waves at the frequency of 40 Hz. Each kitchen container contains an ultrasonic sensor attached to it. The sensor measures the level or depth of the grocery material in the container by calculating the time difference between the transmitted waves and the received waves. The distance is referred to as level or depth of the grocery. This sensor gives the analog voltage as the output of the sensor. The microcontroller changes over this simple voltage into computerized information. The Wi-Fi module sends these sensor esteems to the cloud. D. Microcontroller The microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit or a small computer that contains a processor, memory and peripherals. The microcontroller is used to get the useful data from sensor. So that the level of goods present in the container are identified. The microcontroller is also connected with the Wi-Fi module. Through the microcontroller and the Wi-Fi module, the collected data reaches the cloud.
In another embodiment, A kitchen and grocery management system using Internet of things comprising of;
a. ultrasonic sensor attached to kitchen container;
b. Arduino microcontroller with Wi-Fi module;
c. Reaching data to the Cloud through microcontroller and Wifi ;
d. Storing and analyzing data in the cloud; and
e. Visualizing the analyzed results using Mobile Application.
