COMMENTS FROM CLIENTS

Arun Murugan, Sodexo Food Service Manager

Smart Bin AI’s solution was a brilliant idea where they set up an AI-powered camera for monitoring. I am amazed that food waste can be monitored and weighed without someone being physically involved. Great idea towards food waste reduction. All the best!
