Lumitics

Lumitics makes Insight, a smart bin that weighs food waste and uses a camera and AI image recognition to identify what is thrown away. It is aimed at hotels, airlines, cruise ships, dining halls and other large kitchens. Lumitics is Singapore-founded and was acquired by food waste company Winnow in July 2026, with customers moving to Winnow's platform over time.

Who it is for

  • Hotels and hotel groups

    The vendor says its solution helps hotels cut food waste by about 30 percent and food cost by up to 8 percent, and names Accor, Hyatt, Marriott and Four Seasons as customers.

  • Large commercial kitchens and buffets

    The vendor says it is best suited to hotels, airlines, cruise ships and large commercial kitchens, where more food produced means larger savings.

Less suited to: Small kitchens with little food output. The vendor says the solution is best suited to facilities that produce a large amount of food.

What it does

  • Weight and camera waste measurement

    Insight has a weight sensor and camera that measures and records food thrown into it at the touch of a button.

  • AI food recognition

    Shows whether a buffet line is prepared with the right amount of food.

  • Yield rate tracking

    Helps chefs see whether trimmings are wasteful and preserve yield.

  • Purchasing insight
