Leanpath, a food waste management company based in Portland, Oregon, has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) floor scale tracker for high-volume kitchens.
The new tracker integrates with Leanpath's existing AI-powered platform, which the company says automatically analyzes food waste and delivers recommended operational changes to address a kitchen's challenges.
The Floor Scale AI uses embedded machine vision to recognize food waste items. Leanpath says the system automatically captures photos and operational details with no user input required. The data then feeds the Leanpath food waste dashboard to provide analytics, reporting and guidance for chefs and managers to access.
"This floor scale was engineered for the realities of high-volume kitchens," says Leanpath VP of Product Brennan Hogan. "It introduces vision-based automation in a way that simplifies workflows, improves data consistency and reduces the need for training. By extending touchless tracking to our floor scale, we're strengthening the quality and completeness of the insights kitchens use to reduce costs, improve efficiency and cut food waste at scale."
