lesswAIste - Bakery Waste Tool with Yolo11 & Prophet Forecastin

The Bakery Waste Optimization Tool is a fully developed web application designed to minimize food waste in bakery operations while providing actionable insights into production efficiency, ecological impact, and financial performance. Built for a bakery chain with six branches, the tool integrates advanced AI image recognition, predictive forecasting, and real-time data visualization to empower data-driven decisions. It processes production data for items such as croissants, pretzels, and Kaiser rolls, tracking leftovers and calculating optimal production quantities.

  • React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
  • Create React App (CRA): A toolchain for bootstrapping React applications.
  • Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.
  • PostCSS: A tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins.
  • Autoprefixer: A PostCSS plugin to parse CSS and add vendor prefixes.

Key Features and Implementations
  • AI Model Completion (Preview Version):

    A pre-trained YOLOv10 Vision AI model (upgraded to YOLO11) integrated with the API for image uploads, result storage in the database, and linkage to the forecasting model.

  • Database Application:

    Built with real production data from six bakery branches, capturing detailed records of leftover items (e.g., croissants, pretzels, Kaiser rolls).

  • Client-Side Visualizations:

    A web app displaying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly losses alongside total production using Chart.js. Side-by-side charts compare losses vs. overall production.

  • Ecological and Financial Analytics:

    Calculations for CO₂ emissions, water usage, electricity consumption, and labor costs—broken down by day, week, month, and year. Visualizations highlight the environmental and monetary impact of waste.

  • Predictive Forecasting:

    Facebook Prophet model for forecasting optimal production quantities, incorporating regression for holidays and custom events.

  • PHP Server API:

    Handles communication between the web app and database, with secure data querying and response handling.

  • Design and UI Enhancements:
    • New logo development
    • Time-intensive high-fidelity mockups in Adobe Illustrator using realistic database data for team evaluation

    • Iterative design adjustments based on feedback

    • Full frontend implementation (HTML & CSS)

    • Tooltips for user guidance

    • Dark mode for improved accessibility

  • Manual test data supports initial validation, with calculations extending to long-term projections.
