At ModnyCo, we reached a new milestone in smart appliance innovation with the development of a smart fridge designed specifically for retail beverage dispensing. This intelligent system tracks inventory for cans and bottles with precision. Utilizing a robust array of smart sensors strategically placed along each lane, our system dynamically monitors and reports the count of beverages to a central controller board. The genius of this design lies in its scalability. Each sensor board, governed by its onboard microcontroller, can be daisy-chained to facilitate as many rows and columns as needed without compromising performance.

The main controller board is at the heart of this ecosystem, meticulously compiling data from the sensors to provide an accurate representation of the fridge's inventory. By incorporating a 4G SIM card, the fridge becomes a node in the Internet of Things (IoT), seamlessly broadcasting inventory levels to the cloud. This real-time data serves multiple stakeholders:
1. Retail Operators: Shopkeepers could monitor sales performance with an unprecedented level of detail, adjusting their stock levels and product offerings based on accurate, up-to-the-minute data.
2. Logistics and Supply Chain: Delivery systems are revolutionized with our technology, enabling predictive scheduling for restocking, ensuring that the fridge is never empty and the sales cycle is uninterrupted.
3. Corporate Insight: Management, sales, and marketing teams are empowered with data for comprehensive analysis, aiding in strategic decision-making and market analysis.
