Develop an AI-powered solution to accurately predict the shelf life of perishable food products using computer vision and predictive analytics. This will help retailers and suppliers minimize food waste, optimize inventory, and improve customer satisfaction.

📋Project Details

Our startup is seeking an AI & Machine Learning expert to develop a sophisticated shelf life prediction system for perishable food products. The project aims to harness the power of computer vision and predictive analytics to assess the freshness and remaining shelf life of items such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats. By leveraging technologies like YOLO for image recognition and OpenAI's APIs for data analysis, the solution will analyze visual and environmental factors to provide real-time shelf life predictions. The result is a tool that retailers and suppliers can use to reduce waste, optimize stock levels, and ensure product quality. The system will incorporate AutoML techniques to continuously improve accuracy and adapt to new data inputs. Key deliverables include a prototype model integrated with an easy-to-use dashboard for stakeholders.
