The FoodScanner's 3D camera system automatically measures the volume, weight and nutritional values of each meal - in less than a second, with the accuracy of a manual measurement.
The 3D sensor technology provides high-precision depth data, which is validated and supplemented by a visual language model (VLM). This enables the system to reliably recognize even complex dishes, regardless of lighting or position. The hybrid approach of hardware and AI guarantees measurement stability, even under real kitchen conditions.
The high-precision 3D capture measures the volume and weight of each meal in real time with the accuracy of manual weighing. Even under different lighting and kitchen conditions, the system delivers consistent and reliable measurement results.
A visual language model (VLM) intelligently analyses each meal, automatically recognizes its components and precisely calculates its macronutrients. This creates an objective basis for clinical nutrition and quality management.
The AI algorithms automatically adapt to real kitchen conditions, learn from every scan and calibrate themselves. In this way, the system becomes more accurate with every application - without manual adjustment, but with a growing understanding of what it is measuring.
The FoodScanner 3D camera system fits seamlessly into existing kitchen and logistics processes.
It is installed directly above serving tables or return points and works fully automatically - without manual intervention or interruption to the workflow.
This creates a precise, stable measuring process that enables maximum efficiency with minimum installation effort.
The FoodScanner measures every meal independently - no operator intervention, no additional time required.
Staff continue to work as usual while the system records data in real time in the background.
Developed for professional everyday hospital use:
The systems run for up to 18 hours a day under real kitchen conditions - stable, reliable and low-maintenance.
Connection to hospital information systems (HIS) and menu management software possible via standardized interfaces (HL7, REST API).
This automatically synchronizes nutrition and process data - securely, in compliance with data protection regulations and without additional maintenance effort.
Only a power and network connection required - no structural adjustments.
Installation takes just a few hours, without interrupting kitchen operations.
The FoodScanner's 3D camera system combines advanced sensor technology with AI-supported data analysis. It has been specially developed for continuous clinical operation and offers precise, stable and fully automated recording of meals - directly integrated into the kitchen process.
