In my earlier career leading cybersecurity teams, I dealt with one universal truth: problems are cheaper to fix the earlier you catch them. That’s why in cybersecurity, we adopt what’s known as a “shift left” strategy—embedding security earlier in the software development lifecycle rather than bolting it on at the end.   It’s not just a buzzword—it’s a proven approach. In security, if you only test for vulnerabilities right before launch, you’re too late. The cost of a breach skyrockets the...

Institutional kitchens face a persistent and underestimated challenge: maintaining food at appropriate temperatures throughout preparation, service, and post-service holding. Traditional tools often fall short, leading to inconsistent quality, operational inefficiencies, and potential safety issues. MetafoodX addresses this challenge with a comprehensive AI-powered solution that monitors food temperature in real time, forecasts risk before thresholds are crossed, and provides calibrated,...

In the evolving world of food service technology, precision and context are everything. In a sector dominated by unpackaged, cooked food items, conventional 2D computer vision struggles to capture the full complexity of what’s being served, consumed, and wasted. This white paper presents a bold and necessary shift: the adoption of 3D computer vision as the foundational technology for tracking food production, consumption, and waste. We explore the technical foundations, the operational...
