Project description
AI-based monitoring service to decrease food waste, increase profits
A third of all food production goes to waste, of which a substantial 15 % comes from professional kitchens that could avoid this with the right tools. One such tool is Binspector, which automatically monitors and registers potential food waste. It integrates a smart camera, smart scale and AI image recognition technology, offers insights to maximise efficiency, and can even pre-fill restaurant ordering systems. Coordinated by Dutch start-up Orbisk, the EIC-funded project Binspector is working to ensure restaurants, hotels and caterers can use the product-as-a-service to decrease food waste by up to 70 % and drive an increase in net profits. The envisioned smart assistant will benefit its customers and our environment.
Objective
Worldwide, one-third of all food production is wasted, 15% of which is generated by restaurants, hotels and caterers who lack the tools to reap the benefits of reducing food waste. Our product, Binspector, combines a smart camera, a smart scale and artificial intelligence image recognition technology to automatically register all food going to waste and supply actionable insights to chefs on how to optimize inefficiencies. Integrated with external systems, our product will even pre-fill restaurant ordering systems. We offer our Product-as-a-Service to professional kitchens for a monthly fee with no upfront costs. It will allow an average kitchen to decrease its ecological footprint and food waste level by 70% and easily save over 30,000 annually, resulting in a net profit margin increase of up to 2%. The market is estimated to be worth 7,8B in Europe alone. Founded in 2019, Orbisk is a Dutch start-up with a team of 24 engineers, data scientists and commercial specialists.
