CE-GMS: A cloud IoT-enabled grocery management system

Highlights：

• Cloud IoT-enabled grocery management system (CE-GMS) model is presented.

• Sensor-based measurement containers (SBMCs) smartly manage household commodities by the use of an ultrasonic sensor, and GPS and GSM modules in the SBMCs.

• Automatic reorder quantities for commodity food products (flour, rice, oil, etc.) can be tracked and reorder requests are made.

• CE-GMS was built using an Android-based mobile app.

• A case study was performed to evaluate the system in terms of accuracy, usability and customer satisfaction.
