For anyone who’s ever taken a swig from an out-of-date milk bottle, you’d probably appreciate any heads-up in future. The frustration of having to throw mouldy food away on a regular basis, is something we all feel; in fact one third of consumable food is never eaten.

Prompt is a smart food management system, developed to help people reduce their food waste and save money. Simple tags and a smart dock connect to a mobile app to make personal food management easy and engaging.

Prompt aims to tackle the problem of food wastage by making it simple to know when fresh produce is nearing the end of its life. Simply remove a tag from the dock and place it on the relevant food item. This will automatically be logged by the Prompt app, so you can see, at-a-glance, what’s in your fridge and when you need to eat it by.  

The Internet of things has found its way into the kitchen in a number of different shapes and sizes. Range OI (Oven Intelligence) is a sensor that magnetically attaches to your oven and communicates the oven’s activity to the cloud. The retrofit acts as a new brain for your oven or grill, making precision cooking available from anywhere.
