Plenty: The Smart Fridge System of Tomorrow

Through a compartment-based structure, Plenty conserves energy by keeping 90% more cold air inside when opened than traditional two-door fridge/freezer units. Using embedded sensors within each compartment, the fridge identifies and tracks each item. When an item is nearly depleted or approaching its expiration date, the system builds a smartphone shopping list and notifies the owner of the contained food status.
