Hitachi Global Life Solutions has announced a new product of the frozen frozen, a connected home appliance. With a camera at the top of the main unit, you can check the stock status in the warehouse with the app. Convenient for shopping. [Photo] Photos in the warehouse seen in the app. You can check the stockpiling status of foods. The lineup is R-HXCC62S (capacity 617L) and R-HXCC54S (capacity 540L) of "Manaka Frozen HXCC type". R-HW62S (capacity 617L), R-HW54S (capacity 540L) and R-HW49S (capacity 485L) of "Manaka Frozen HW type". It is 6 models of R-KXCC50S (498L capacity) of "Manaka Vegetable XKCC type". The release date is February 24 for the HXCC type, February 17 for the HW type, and the KXCC type on February 24. The price is open and the estimated market price is as follows. R-HXCC62S: around 495,000 yen (617L, with camera) R-HXCC54S: around 440,000 yen (540L, with camera) R-HW62S: 418,000 yen (617L, no camera) R-HW54S: 363,000 yen (540L, camera) None) R-HW49S: 341,000 yen (485L, no camera) R-KXCC50S: Around 473,000 yen (498L, Manaka Vegetable Room, Camera) Check the ingredients in the refrigerator with a camera and application. "Frozen HXCC type" and "Manaka Vegetable XKCC type" are characterized by the fact that the camera is installed on the upper part (top surface) of the refrigerator. When the door of the refrigerator room is opened, the refrigerator shelves and door pockets are automatically photographed. You can check the photos taken from the "Hitachi Refrigerator Concierge App". Automatic shooting is 3 seconds after opening the refrigerator door. This can be adjusted from the app. It is the timing of shooting when the lights in the warehouse have become dark. The photos taken are divided into left pockets, shelves, right pockets, and sent to the app. There are up to 6 images to save in the app per place. If you open it many times with preparation of meals, you will be shot many times in a short time. In such a case, it is OK if you set it with the app and turn off the automatic shooting. In addition, there is a manual shooting button on the door of the refrigerator room, so you can shoot at your own timing. If you enlarge the photographed images on the app, you can check the rest of the ingredients from the outside, such as "Is there an egg?" However, since the back of the refrigerator shelf does not appear, it is necessary to keep the ingredients you want to check in front of the shelf. In addition, it is not possible to shoot the inside with the refrigerator door closed (it is natural because the camera is on the outside ...). If you do not shoot once, you will not be able to record the internal situation, so before going shopping, look inside the refrigerator with a quick look (and then take automatic photography), like "memory assistance" when shopping. It may be good to use it. Vegetable rooms and freezing rooms do not appear. Personally, I'm worried about what the freshness of the vegetables in the vegetable room and the number of onions remain, so I'm glad to be able to check the inside of the vegetable room and the things inside. hey. As an aside, since it is photographed a relatively wide area, including the door pocket, the area around the refrigerator may be slightly reflected. If a child is shown together when taking out drinks from the refrigerator, it will be confirmed to return home. The new product that can store a 500ml plastic bottle as it is, also uses a thin wall design. The refrigerator contains insulation between the outer and inside the "box", but this insulation is generally useful of vacuum insulation and foam urethane. In order to increase the capacity inside the refrigerator without changing the width of the refrigerator, it is necessary to devise this insulation part. The method adopted by Hitachi Global Life Solutions is the strengthening of vacuum heat insulators. I lost the urethane in a part of the wall and made it thinner. In the case of R-HXCC625, the capacity is expanded by 15L with the same width 685mm as the conventional model. As a result, the height of the top part is secured, and a 500ml plastic bottle can be set up. The top row of the refrigerator room tends to be a dead space, so you can stock more ingredients than before. Popular functions are continuing as they are as they are in the conventional model. "Special ice temperature room" that keeps meat and fish at about -1 ° C, "fresh sleep vegetable room" that keeps the freshness of vegetables using platinum catalyst, and can be quickly home-free when placed in aluminum tray. Delicious frozen. If you can take a picture of the inside of the room with a camera with a camera and check the contents with a camera, it is convenient to prevent buying and double buying, but at present it must be placed in front of the shelf, so how to use it. The honest impression is that there is. Note that you need an Internet connection environment and wireless LAN router at home to send images taken with the camera to the app. Hitachi Global Life Solutions has long been equipped with a "ingredient management" function that shoots ingredients in the refrigerator and manages the expiration date, but there is no link to this camera function. The camera is installed in the refrigerator, so if it can be automatically managed until the expiration date of the ingredients ... Although it seems to be difficult in terms of technical and mechanism, I hope that such a day will come.
