Formula-Automating Appliances

This Automatic Baby Formula Maker is Perfect for Parents On the Go

— March 13, 2015 — Tech
This baby formula maker comes with an accompanying app that helps you automate and manage your infant's milk consumption. The successfully crowdfunded Milk Nanny by Wicoz is the ideal appliance for exhausted parents who feed their babies powdered formula. Recently the device was also featured as a food world innovator in the YouTube-based The Lempert Report Innovation Series.

Easy to use, the Milk Nanny is capable of warming milk in a mere 15 seconds. You just fill the tank of the baby formula maker with water and add the powder. Then you scan the formula bar code with your smartphone so the gadget knows how much and what temperature water to use. Calculations are based on the formula you use as well as the child's age and feeding patterns.
Trend Themes
1. Smart-powered Formula Automation - Smart-powered baby formula makers with accompanying apps offer parents hassle-free feeding and potential for other food and beverage automation applications.
2. Personalized Infant Nutrition Management - Personalized infant nutrition management technology uses predictive analytics and user data to optimize feeding practices and potentially prevent allergenic reactions or nutrient deficiencies.
3. Compact Kitchen Appliance Market - The compact kitchen appliance market offers a growing space for innovations that cater to modern lifestyle needs such as time-efficient cooking and custom meal options.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Appliance Industry - The smart home appliance industry can leverage automated formula makers and infant nutrition management systems to expand their IoT portfolio and improve child care solutions.
2. Baby Products Industry - The baby products industry has room for more automated and personalized feeding products that cater to working parents and the growing need for infant nutrition management.
3. Food and Beverage Industry - The food and beverage industry can explore opportunities to integrate personalized and automated infant nutrition management technologies into their product portfolio and cater to a wider market.
