The system utilizes the YOLOv8 object detection algorithm, allowing users to simply capture images of ingredients. The AI automatically identifies the type, quantity, and freshness of the food. This technology replaces tedious manual input and instantly integrates recognition results into the inventory management system.
The system automatically retrieves available ingredients from the database, matches them, and recommends the most suitable recipes. The interface clearly displays the ingredient matching percentage, available items, and missing ingredients, helping users overcome the “what to cook” dilemma while reducing unused food.
The system provides an “Ingredient Expiration Overview” feature, using red, yellow, and green indicators to represent freshness levels. When ingredients are about to expire, the system sends both LINE messages and email alerts, implementing a dual warning mechanism to prevent food waste caused by forgetfulness.
The system transforms complex inventory data into visual charts, providing real-time insights such as total inventory levels, freshness distribution pie charts, and recent inventory trends through line graphs. This enables users to understand inventory trends, estimate value, and track accumulated carbon reduction.
By integrating AI image analysis with dietitian recommendations, the system automatically calculates the total calories and macronutrient distribution of food stored in the refrigerator. Users can upload photos via LINE to check nutritional information, helping them develop healthier dietary plans.
The system supports shared accounts or group features for family members, ensuring that inventory lists remain synchronized across different devices. When ingredients are added or consumed, the system updates in real time, preventing duplicate purchases and information gaps among family members.
The system leverages a LINE Bot to create a conversational interface, providing storage recommendations and planning future integration with supermarket platforms and logistics services. The goal is to achieve a one-stop smart lifestyle cycle: “check the fridge, shop, and cook at home.”
