Artificial Intelligence - the solution to food waste at home.
Developers of the EatBy App have incorporated artificial intelligence into
their kitchen
management and grocery list app to reduce domestic food waste.
The latest release of the EatBy App includes a new feature - it automatically
suggests
how long fruit, veg and frozen items will stay fresh for and then
reminds you to use
them up before they go off. But the clever bit, according to
the developers, is
that the app learns the storage habits of individual
users.
"Not everyone's kitchen is the same, and different food storage environments
effect shelf life. EatBy App addresses this problem by learning as it's used
over time."
Domestic food waste is now the biggest contributor to the global food waste
problem.
Supermarkets have suffered the brunt of bad publicity, being blamed for
massive
quantities of unsold food being wasted. Many supermarkets and grocery
stores
have since made big changes that reduce food waste in the supply chain.
However, the problem of food wasted at home is still massive. The Eatby
developers believe change has to happen in our homes and stress that we
all
need to review our grocery shopping and food consumption habits.
In some cases
households unnecessarily waste up to 30% of their food
simply from poor kitchen
management. This not only has a detrimental
environmental impact, it also has a
big impact on householders' wallets.
With the escalation of food prices,
especially in the UK, where the
British Pound has slumped as a reaction of
Brexit, careful food
management is becoming more important. EatBy App is the
leading
smart kitchen technology and its development team are one of only
a few
to come up with a successful domestic food waste reduction
solution. There are a
number of apps designed to share unwanted
food but EatBy App prevents the
accumulation of unwanted food
in the first place.
Initial versions of the app were praised by users and the press
despite the
user interface being described as "clumpy"
. But subsequent versions of the app
have addressed this
by incorporating a much more intuitive and attractive
interface.
The development team have certainly listened to their feedback to
refine the app.
Designers at EatBy say they are now developing the app to make the
best use
of the freezer in an effort to make users more aware of th
e benefits of freezing
food to further reduce food waste. But the latest
big news is that EatBy are
developing Smart Kitchen hardware.
"The products we're working on will make
kitchen management
simple - with a big focus on beautiful design and developing
A.I. driven 'invisible technology' that works in the background
with minimal
user effort required." Steffan Lewis, co-founder of
EatBy App went on to say,
"Artificial Intelligence does not need
to be scary - in EatBy's case it'll
simply help make life better.
Our technology is aimed at families, foodies and
people who
love to cook. We're not interested in creating futuristic, sterile
kitchens. We are interested in encouraging everyone to eat
delicious fresh food,
reduce food waste and save money."
