Samsung AI Family Hub™ French Door Refrigerator

Australia Institute research shows Australians waste 7.6 million tonnes of food every year, costing households $19.3 billion[2]. As Australians continue to feel the impacts of an economic slowdown, they’re looking for smart appliances that make their busy lives easier. Samsung’s smart refrigerator research[3] shows the top three customer pain points in purchasing, storing and cooking food are: 1. It’s hard to remember what’s in the fridge 2. I forget to buy the necessary ingredients 3. It’s hard to remember/manage expiration dates These challenges may lead to inefficient use of ingredients and or the unnecessary disposal of food.

Samsung’s AI Family Hub™ has smart technology that can makes kitchen management easier. “AI Vision Inside™” uses an internal camera that acts as a smart food management system, capable of identifying up to 33 fresh food items[4] and updating your food list as they’re added or removed. This allows Australians to view their Food List from virtually anywhere Using the SmartThings app on a compatible smartphone, track expiration dates, and receive suggested recipes[5]. Busy families can avoid forgetting to restock a pantry staple thanks to “Shopping List” which makes it easy to add items with a touch or voice command[6].

As Australians continue to feel the effects of rising cost-of-living, smart appliances have a key role to play in minimising wastage and being more efficient in the kitchen, providing the tools and solutions to help us make informed choices. Samsung’s internal research shows that on an average, Australians predict they can save $154 per week by cooking at home instead of ordering takeaway[7]. Food waste also costs Australian households $19.3 billion each year[8]. Samsung’s Family Hub AI™ can help busy Australian families better manage food and the grocery list, which could help reduce a family’s food waste.
