Today, kitchen design is more about creating a functional space — not just adopting trendy designs. The numerous technological advances and changing lifestyles compel homeowners to develop areas that make tasks like cooking, cleaning, and preparing diet-friendly foods easier. One of the smart technologies discussed during the Smart Kitchen Summit 2018 focused on personalization. This particular invention allows users to swallow microchips that degrade in the gut after a few months. The chips are designed to communicate vital information concerning the users' preferences directly to the smart dining area or smart hotel and lead them to a meal that is personalized for their bodies. With this technology, people who have allergies and other dietary concerns enjoy foods that are customized for them. Hyper-personalization is just one of the many smart technology applications that have been invented for kitchen spaces. Here are more trending technologies for a smart home.

Smart Lighting The uses of lighting in the dining area are numerous — dining, cooking, cleaning, preparing meals, and watching TV, among others. Smart lighting allows homeowners to adjust the light to suit their tasks and create the perfect ambiance. The designer can brighten the space selectively such as in areas where there are most movements like the countertop, oven, and dishwashing sections. Smart Speakers The launch of Amazon Echo, Apple's Siri, and Sony and Samsung voice support has spawned the invention of appliances that integrate voice control at home. Some service providers have partnered with cooker manufacturers to help users adjust the devices using voice commands. For example, Amazon Echo is connected to many Whirlpool devices like refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves, among other appliances to allow users to have more control over tasks like preparing a meal and doing the dishes. Smart Control Systems The possibilities here are infinite and always increasing. The most recent is induction cooking, which heats using an electromagnetic field instead of the usual radiant heat.

This smart application is all the rage as it allows users to cook more efficiently and offer more skillful control of tasks like simmering. Users can now integrate their smartphones with the cooker using touch and swipe controls. The Internet Of Things Samsung recently introduced an intelligent refrigerator that has a touchscreen and voice support. The feature creates a discreet notice board that allows friends and family to leave messages to each other. The fridge is also fitted with internal cameras that view the contents in real time and monitor the level and number of items so that homeowners can generate shopping lists and track the expiry dates of food products. Additionally, manufacturers are now using Bluetooth technology to connect various appliances. Chef Connect is one such application that allows homeowners to link the clock time and switch on the vents and lights automatically when the cooktop is in use. In fact, the next invention will synchronize the cooking times for the oven, microwave, and other appliances so that the main meals and side dishes are cooked simultaneously.
