Overview of the project

We will set up the project in a medium-sized kitchen with a single entry. We monitor the items brought into the kitchen using Photons. Items that are brought into the kitchen are stored across three cabinets. The user has to follow a strict routine in order for us to keep the implementation aligned to the scope of this chapter. We assume that all grocery items have an RFID tag. After grocery shopping is done, the first thing to do is to scan each of the items using the RFID reader attached to the Photon placed near the kitchen entrance. After the entry of the item is recorded, the item is stored in one of the three cabinets. Thus, scanning and storing is a strictly ordered action pair. Similarly, when taking out an item from the cabinet, it needs to be scanned by the RFID reader as soon as it is out of the cabinet. The motion sensor connected to the doors of the cabinet monitors the inventory movement or usage. The Photon with the RFID reader, near the kitchen entrance...
