SMARTDOT-SCAN 5.0.5

The concept describes an app to determine remaining shelf life using a color-changing Visual Freshness Sensor called SMART DOT.

SMARTDOT-SCAN reads the color from the active sensor and provides an estimate of the product’s remaining shelf life. When scanned, the app applies machine learning techniques to identify the closest color match and to correlate this color with a central database that links color state to remaining shelf life.

Both SMART DOT™ sensors and the SMARTDOT-SCAN app are described as configurable to accommodate a range of perishable products.

From a critical perspective, the description outlines a data flow from color capture to database mapping, but it offers limited detail on calibration, accuracy, environmental effects, or validation across product categories.
