Neakasa Riko Gains Accolades at IFA 2026
At the prestigious IFA 2026 event held in Berlin, Neakasa, a leading name in smart pet care solutions, proudly announced that its Riko smart wet-meal feeder has received the respected IFA 2026 Innovation Award. This recognition underscores the device's groundbreaking contribution to the automatic pet feeding sector, especially for cat owners seeking more innovative meal preparation options.
Redefining Cat Feeding with Smart Technology
Unlike traditional automatic feeders that simply store pre-prepared wet food, the Riko takes a novel approach. It utilizes freeze-dried ingredients, which are stored in their dry state until mealtime. When it's time to feed, the device automatically grinds and combines the dry food with water, ensuring that cats receive a freshly prepared meal tailored to specific hydration and portion preferences. This method not only emphasizes the importance of fresh feeding but also adds convenience to the daily feeding routine of cat owners.
With an impressive capacity, the Riko feeder can hold up to 3 liters of food and 2.4 liters of water, enabling a single adult cat to enjoy automated meals for up to ten days, depending on the feeding schedule. The Neakasa app enhances the experience by allowing pet owners to manage meal portions, fluid levels, feeding history, and schedules—all from their smartphones.
A Look at the Riko's Features
Riko’s versatility shines through its adjustable water-to-food ratios, which range from 1:1 to 5:1, as well as the ability to schedule more than 20 meals in a single day. Owners can also set portions from 1 to 15 grams, ensuring that their pets receive just the right amount of nourishment. This innovative design is set to redefine mealtime for cats, bringing convenience and freshness directly to their bowls.
The Riko officially launched on September 8, 2026, and its reception at IFA 2026 highlighted how pet tech continues to evolve, merging convenience with quality. Additionally, the Neakasa booth showcased another innovative offering—the M9 Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box—which also attracted significant attention for its focus on safety and ease of maintenance.
The Future of Smart Pet Care
Neakasa has positioned itself as a thought leader in the pet care industry since its establishment in 2017. With an emphasis on intelligent design and practical usability, their products are made to simplify and enhance the lives of pets and their owners alike. As highlighted at IFA 2026, both the Riko and M9 products illustrate Neakasa’s commitment to innovation in smart pet care solutions.
With respect to its future releases, the M9 will hit the market on October 9, 2026. The excitement surrounding these products indicates a strong consumer interest in smart technologies that cater to pet care needs.
