Description:

The Beer Snob Smart Fridge is an innovative smart appliance, designed to fill the void between a full feature (and full price) smart refrigerator and the traditional, “dumb” variant. According to a 2015 Allied Market Research study, the “Smart Home Appliances Market” is expected to reach $38.35 billion by 2020. By focusing on the $688.4 billion “Global Beer Market,” the Beer Snob Smart Fridge takes advantage of a lucrative market that has yet to see much in the way of “smart” technology. Similar products do exist, but suffer from limited adaptability like the Bud Light “Bud-E Fridge” which is designed only for Bud Light cans and bottles and provides no user control over its limited features.

The Beer Snob Smart Fridge is designed for consumer ease-of-use but with a full set of customizable features that are expected of a top-notch smart appliance. 

Features:

• Fridge Hardware Module Connected to a Mobile App using Amazon AWS Cloud

• In App Inventory of Current Bottles and Smart Beer Reordering 

• In App Temperature Sensing  (Since nothing worse than opening a lukewarm beer)

• Fridge Interior Camera available from App

• In App Metrics and Statistics  (Because who wouldn’t want to see graphs of your beer consumption??)
