Lumitics (Accelerator)

Company Description: Lumitics offers Insight, a smart food waste tracker that leverages on sensors and their proprietary image recognition technology to weigh and identify what restaurants and kitchens throw away. As human beings and everyday consumers looking at the global food waste problem, we were haunted by the sheer volume of food waste happening in the world – 1.6 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally every year and 50% of all the food produced for buffets ends up in the bin. We wanted to create a tool that could help the whole industry to become actors of change. The answer was a seamless tool that could be integrated into existing workflows in kitchens. Combining the very best of image recognition, AI and data analytics, our solution provides meaningful and useful insights into what is being thrown away. With increased visibility of what is being thrown away comes control chefs which are able to optimise their kitchen so as to minimise their waste and cost.
