Ovie, a startup based in Chicago, is launching an innovative new platform and smartphone app that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to track refrigerator contents in order to prevent the wastage of food due to spoiling.
The Smarterware kit comes with a special container and a high-tech strap that is embedded with a unique electronic tag. When a user purchases a perishable food item, they can simply go ahead and place it in the food-tracking container, or opt for the tracker tag, which is more useful in the case of fresh produce and vegetables.
By then entering in the tracker tag information into the companion smartphone app, users can track refrigerator contents and make use of in-app notifications to know when expiry dates are coming up, making this a great example of smart technologies being put to use in the kitchen.
