Agenda Introductions Project Background Accomplishments Challenges Budget Conclusion Acknowledgements Questions
Background There is no device that helps people remember what is in their fridge/expiry dates of their products. We wanted to create a device that allows people to insert a product and expiry date. The device then tracks the products and alerts the user when a product is about to expire.
Accomplishments We successfully created a web app for our project, with personalized login and home pages for each user. We were successful in updating a database via a barcode scanner. We successfully were able to sort items by expiry dates per user. We successfully created a secure hash for user passwords. We all learned how to take on the role of project manager and learned how to conduct meetings.
Challenges Adam: Trying to find a barcode scanner code for cheap Zack: Figuring out the login page, as well as troubleshooting the code. Nathan: Figuring out the countdown code, as well as troubleshooting the code.
Budget Hardware: Since most of the hardware was donated, our actual costs were a mere fraction from the anticipated costs Equipment and Facilities CostQTYCostActual Cost HP Proliant DL385 G7 Server1$ $0 Monitor 23”1$140$0 School Issued Laptops3$0 External Hard Drive1$150 Keyboard/Mouse1 each$50$0 Windows Server 2008 R2 – Standard1$882.00$0 Total $ $150

Conclusion Thanks to this project, there is now a framework for others to build upon. This idea should help people in remembering what is in their fridge and when the products expire.
