Visit To JR Vending Group
Our group was honored to be invited down to a site visit with the JR Vending group, creators of the ‘Chef in a Box’ vending machines. Mr Shen (CEO of JR Vending) and Mr Tng (GM of JR Vending) kindly hosted our visit. We were able to present our project to them, as well as discuss and obtain valuable insights for our project from an industrial standpoint. One key suggestion which we implemented was inspired from their company’s practice, to list a few default recommended shelf lives instead of determining the exact dates. Hence, we have implemented a similar interface for our users when it comes to fresh produce (eg. Meat, Fish, Vegetables) with no printed expiry dates on the packaging.
