Refrigerated Food Management System

摘要

A computerized refrigerator/freezer system uses rotating carousels and assigns specific storage locations based on bar code readings or user input. Retrieval and replacement of food items is facilitated by computer-controlled rotation of the carousels to provide convenient access from the front of the refrigerator or freezer. A transparent "door-within-a-door" in the front of the refrigerator allows convenient and energy-conserving access to food items without opening the larger main access door. The system computer performs inventory tracking and control and can perform optional re-stocking through an internet connection.
