OverviewIn this project, we completed an egg tray using the knowledge of Internet of Things , cloud service and mobile app to allow user to have a chance be automatically reminded by the system when it is the good time to refill the egg tray with more eggs. Moreover, It allows user to monitor how long the egg has been sitting in the egg tray for. In addition, users are given a chance to have a look their own egg usage pattern, allowing them to do some interactive data study of their own consumption of protein which could be useful for users to plan their nutrition plan.
During the design process, we also took the feasibility to commercialize our product as our design would be in a reasonable price. |
Existing product |
Although there were some already commercialized product on the market, we still made our design unique by reducing the net part cost.
The most famous existing 'smart eggtray' product that is on the market is the
"Quirky Egg Minder Wink App Enabled Smart Egg Tray"
You can access the product page on Amazon through this link
The function of the Quirky product is mostly same as our design but lacking the cloud service and data analysis part.
The most interesting point is, the original price for the Quirky product was higher than $90.
Instantly, this product became the target for people to tease about. And the company went bankrupted.
This reminds us how important our Smart Egg Tray design should be able to sell at a reasonable price.
We always remember we are trying to build something that could be used in people's everyday life.
