It will make use of robotics and image processing to aid the user in dealing with their grocery-bought items. From the moment foodstuff arrives on your counter, it will track the item along with its expiration date and amount to help with inventory management. It will prevent redundant purchases and food spoilage by providing an accessible, easy-to-use inventory list to reference during their next trip to the supermarket. It will also provide appropriate notifications when an item nears its expiration and will suggest ways to use the product.
