"The current issue in managing food storage can be resolved by developing intelligent culinary equipment that can preserve the quality of the stored food or product. This study aims to develop an intelligent refrigerator with an online application architecture using the Internet of Things (IoT). The outcome of this study consists of a GUI display, generated file records, and database records. All products saved in the database are shown in the GUI along with notifications and stock availability. The system can generate specific folder that shows created file records. In addition to the files that the device automatically creates, a database record can also exist. The study involved developing an experimental prototype to prove workability and functionality of the equipment. Heuristic and usability tool were adopted in evaluating the performance of the prototype. After detailed experimentations and analyses respondents were selected to evaluate the performance of the developed prototype. Evaluation shows that the intelligent refrigerator was effective and user-friendly. Users can easily and quickly access information, goods, services, and procedures through mobile applications that are designed for hands-on interaction. The mean for both Alpha and Beta Tests is the same based on the presented statistics despite the Pearson correlation variations, the p-value and t-values were not significantly influenced. It is advised to utilize a larger graphical user interface, monitor temperature state when the device is opened and closed, enhance the load cell's capacity, make online payments easier, and modify the loT applications for the android phone.-Author's Abstract.
