Walmart introduces Eden, an intelligent food system
This patent-pending system leverages sophisticated technologies such as machine learning.
Walmart, Bentonville, Ark., released Eden, an intelligent food system designed to improve the quality and flow of fresh groceries from farm to shelf.
Eden is the result of a friendly competition, or hackathon, among Walmart engineers on the fresh merchandising teams. The goal was to figure out the best way to keep track of food freshness from the farms to the stores. The winning team determined that building a digital library of food standards was the answer.
