KitchIntel designs and develops
inteligent computing and communications system for the kitchen that
connects appliances, cabinets, etc...; use RFID tags and barcodes to
track "inventories"; allow appliances to be programmed; etc...
Vision
The KitchIntel Control System (KICS) is a system that can be used to
transport complicated instructions to kitchen appliances in order to
control their operation.
Target Market
We anticipate that KICS will be a mass-market
product, of most interest intitally to people in the middle- and
high-income groups.
Our preliminary research indicates that there are some other
companies discussing such products but that they are not very far
along in the design and development process.
Business Requirements
KICS must be flexible and must, wherever possible, use existing
protocols.
