Amazon is working on a smart fridge designed to track items inside and users’ purchase habits. The fridge can also track expiration dates, suggest recipes based on available products, and offer an easy way to order more food from an Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods grocery store. It’s looking to team up with an appliance manufacturer.
The fridge would monitor the items inside and keep tabs on your purchasing habits, according to the report. If you run low on something you buy frequently, the fridge would notify you and make it easier to order more from Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh, which could give the company’s grocery division a boost. The fridge could offer recipe suggestions too, which may prove useful if you forget about an item that’s about to expire.
