NeoCortec, specialists in wireless connectivity and providers of ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network hardware and software solutions, have collaborated with their German distributor, Endrich Bauelemente, to create a smart fridge concept. This initiative aims to enable fridge manufacturers to integrate intelligent features, allowing end users to monitor various parameters of their refrigerator via a mobile application.
Using NeoMesh wireless sensor modules, the incorporation of multiple IoT functionalities becomes both easy and rapid. These functionalities include monitoring the temperature and humidity within the refrigerator, tracking the brightness of the interior light, and checking the status of the door. By collecting data on the frequency and duration of door openings, valuable insights can be gained for marketing or commercial purposes, particularly in settings such as petrol stations or retail stores.
Zoltán Kiss, Head of the R&D Department at Endrich Bauelemente, said: “By integrating NeoMesh sensor modules into our solution, we can effortlessly capture any necessary data and transmit it wirelessly to our own IoT ecosystem or any other suitable cloud service. Combined with its extremely low power consumption and the ability to establish scalable local wireless networks, NeoMesh stands out as the ideal product for our smart IoT solution.”
Key requirements for IoT sensor modules in smart devices typically include compact size, easy installation, independence from electrical and wired communication networks, and straightforward commissioning. When using battery-powered, wireless communication technology like NeoMesh, which integrates all necessary sensors into the module, installation can generally be performed without the need for a specialist.
“This is precisely what makes our NeoMesh technology so user-friendly,” concluded Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec.
