At the heart of the Smart Shelf Solution lies a genuine concern for people and their everyday lives. This innovative system is designed to ensure that essential products never run out and to effortlessly replenish them before they reach a critical low. Typically, the Smart Shelf operates by loading it with various products, and as each item is consumed over time, the application reflects the change in weight, providing users with up-to-date information.
However, we want to take it a step further and introduce a unique feature that sets it apart from conventional solutions: AI-embedded forecasting. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a powerful tool capable of solving complex problems using the same kind of intelligence humans possess naturally. It has already found applications in diverse industries such as manufacturing, education, and healthcare. If you've ever interacted with Siri, searched for a movie on Netflix®, or asked about the weather, you have already experienced AI in action.
In our Smart Shelf Solution, we have incorporated a comprehensive forecasting block that predicts product consumption based on the entire history of the product being placed on the shelf or taken from the shelf. With each interaction, whether it's taking an item or adding to the shelf, users actively contribute to refining the forecasting feature, ensuring accurate and timely preparation.
Our development team has converted the Smart Shelf solution into an innovative product by applying "Prophet" from Meta®, a cutting-edge time series forecasting tool. You have a unique chance to dive into the invaluable benefit of Prophet for predicting product consumption.
