Food waste reduction through collaborative refrigerator inventory analysis and meal planning

In an approach for creating a virtual network of smart refrigerators and tracking a plurality of food inventories, a processor creates a virtual refrigerator network by connecting a plurality of smart refrigerators. A processor gathers an inventory of one or more products stored in the plurality of smart refrigerators. A processor generates a recipe suggestion based on the one or more products, wherein the one or more products have at least one of a freshness level and an expiration date within a predetermined threshold. Responsive to one or more users each associated with one or more of the plurality of smart refrigerators accepting the recipe suggestion, a processor gathers a subset of the one or more products involved in the recipe suggestion. Responsive to determining a meal has been prepared, a processor delivers a respective portion of the meal to each household of the one or more users.

In an example, inventory datasets may be retrieved from a centralized repository, such as an EPCIS repository. An inventory dataset includes at least a unique identifier of a product, hierarchy data between different products, and a status of the product at different instances. The inventory datasets may be analysed to identify aging inventory. The aging inventory include a product inventory for which an expiration date is approaching, a product inventory which has stored in an inventory storage facility beyond a stipulated time, and so on. The aging inventory may be identified based on determination of manufacturing date of the products. Based on the aging inventory, recommendations may be generated for disposal of the aging inventory. The recommendations may be based on a set of rules.
