SMART FRIDGE SHELF REMINDER USING IoT

Food wastage due to expired and forgotten items is a common problem in many households and commercial environments. People often forget about food items stored inside refrigerators, leading to spoilage and unnecessary waste. To address this issue, this paper presents a Smart Fridge Shelf Reminder System using Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed system continuously monitors food items placed on refrigerator shelves using sensors and IoT-enabled components. It tracks parameters such as item presence, quantity, and expiry duration. When a food item is about to expire or when the quantity reduces below a predefined level, the system sends timely alerts to the user through a mobile application or notification service. The system uses a microcontroller, sensors, and wireless communication to ensure real-time monitoring and notification. By providing timely reminders, the smart fridge shelf system helps users manage food efficiently, reduce wastage, and promote smart living through automation.
