Copy of Work Program Project Proposal by Slidesgo (1)

The document addresses the issues of food waste due to spoilage and expiry, highlighting problems such as lack of expiry date awareness and inefficient inventory management. It proposes a Smart Food Expiry Alert System that utilizes manual input, barcode scanning, and IoT sensors to monitor food conditions and send alerts when items are nearing expiry. The estimated cost for implementing this system is approximately ₹4,300.

Problem Statement:

1. Lack of Expiry Date Awareness: Many businesses struggle to


track and manage the expiry dates of stored food, leading to
unnecessary waste.
2. Inefficient Inventory Management: Poor monitoring of food stock
results in over-purchasing and disposal of edible products.
3. Environmental and Financial Losses: Food waste contributes to
increased carbon emissions and financial losses for businesses.

Chosen Problem: Food Waste Due to Spoilage and Expiry
Reason for Choosing:
● Global Impact: Over 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted
annually, with a significant portion due to spoilage and
expiry.
● Economic Losses: Food waste results in financial losses
for households, businesses, and food banks.
● Environmental Impact: Wasted food contributes to
greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion.
● Health Risks: Consuming expired or spoiled food can lead
to foodborne illnesses and other health issues.
Idea: Smart Food Expiry Alert System with Manual
Input/Barcode Scanning
Description:
● A system that allows users to manually input expiry dates
or scan barcodes to track food items.
● Uses IoT sensors (temperature, humidity) to monitor
storage conditions and ensure optimal preservation.
● Sends alerts (via mobile app or buzzer) when food is near
expiry.
● Integrates with AI for demand forecasting to optimize
food distribution and reduce waste.
