Platform Architecture

How Kitchen Eyes
Works

A five-layer intelligent pipeline that transforms raw kitchen data into structured, actionable, evidence-backed oversight, from the point of capture to the executive dashboard.

Architecture Overview

Five Layers. One Governed Pipeline.

Every event detected by Kitchen Eyes flows through a structured pipeline designed for speed, accuracy, and traceability. No data is lost. No event goes unrecorded.

1
Capture

Cameras, IoT sensors, and RFID readers at the source.

2
Edge

Local processing for low-latency detection and filtering.

3
Event

Classification, evidence pairing, and structured logging.

4
Platform

Central alerting, dashboards, and compliance scoring.

5
Action

Notifications, reports, escalations, and audit support.

Layer 01

Capture at Source

Kitchen Eyes begins at the physical layer. High-definition cameras, IoT sensor nodes, and RFID readers are deployed across kitchen zones, positioned to cover every area where compliance, safety, and environmental conditions matter.

  • IP cameras for vision-based detection modules
  • IoT sensors for temperature, humidity, air quality, and more
  • RFID readers for food-level tracking and expiry management
  • Zone-based deployment for comprehensive spatial coverage

Layer 02

Edge Intelligence

Raw data from cameras and sensors is processed on-premises at edge computing nodes. This ensures low-latency detection, reduces bandwidth to the central platform, and keeps sensitive visual data within the facility boundary.

  • On-premises inference for vision modules
  • Immediate detection without cloud round-trips
  • Data minimisation: only events and metadata are sent upstream
  • Privacy-preserving architecture by design

Layer 03

Event & Evidence Layer

Every detection becomes a structured event, classified by type, severity, zone, and timestamp. Visual evidence is captured and linked to the event record, creating an immutable, auditable compliance trail.

  • Structured event classification and severity tagging
  • Visual evidence capture linked to each event
  • Time-stamped, zone-mapped, searchable event log
  • Full audit trail for regulatory and internal review

Layer 04

Central Platform & Alerts

Events from all sites converge on the Kitchen Eyes central platform. Dashboards update in real time. Alert rules trigger notifications. Compliance scores recalculate. Trends become visible across shifts, zones, and time periods.

  • Real-time dashboard updates across three views
  • Configurable alert rules and escalation paths
  • Automated compliance scoring per site and zone
  • Trend analysis and pattern identification

Layer 05

Action & Oversight

The final layer is where insight becomes action. Kitchen managers receive targeted alerts. Leadership reviews compliance trends. Audit teams access time-stamped evidence. Every layer works together to close the loop between detection and response.

  • Role-based notifications and alert routing
  • Compliance reporting for leadership and audit teams
  • Evidence-backed investigation and response workflows
  • Continuous improvement through trend visibility

Platform Principles

Designed for Enterprise. Built for Trust.

Policy-Governed

No module runs without an explicit governance policy. Organisations maintain full control over what is monitored, when, and where.

Modular by Design

Every detection module is independently deployable, configurable, and deactivatable, enabling phased rollouts and tailored configurations.

Evidence-First

Every event is linked to evidence. Every alert is traceable. Every compliance score is backed by structured, time-stamped data.
