Stak: Intelligent Modular Spice Rack

How might we bring the common spice rack into the 21st century? Give it a brain.

Objective: Keeping in mind intelligent mobility, design something to be used in the home or kitchen that can be built in the present.

Stak features a modular design. Spices go inside a cartridge. Two cartridges can fit inside of one platter. The number of platters are determined by the user’s needs. Stak: on-the-fly spice blend creation from the basic spices you have in your pantry. Final models done in Solidworks and rendered with Keyshot.

What about revisting this project?

I think this concept is not as far out there as it was in 2011. The internet of things is a concept that gain momentum. Aside from the mechanical engineering challenges that would be present in making the device, there is a lot of refinement that can be put into the mobile application (as it was not the main focus of the project).
