mega-food System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

The "mega-food" project aims to revolutionize the food industry by leveraging advanced technology to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and user experience. This document outlines the system requirements for the mega-food project, providing a comprehensive guide for its development and implementation.

2. System Overview

The mega-food project is designed to streamline food production, distribution, and consumption processes through a robust digital platform. It will incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as AI, IoT, and real-time monitoring to optimize operations and reduce waste. The platform will cater to various user personas, including administrators, managers, analysts, and general users, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience.

3. Functional Requirements

• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user roles and permissions using RBAC.
• As a Manager, I should be able to access the ESG Reporting Dashboard to monitor sustainability metrics.
• As an Analyst, I should be able to utilize the AI Waste Prediction Engine to forecast waste levels.
• As a Staff member, I should be able to view real-time data from IoT sensors.
• As a User, I should be able to receive smart recommendations for food consumption.
• As a User, I should be able to view the Digital Twin Facility for a virtual representation of operations.
• As a User, I should be able to generate and export PDF reports.
• As a User, I should be able to interact with predictive maintenance alerts.
• As a User, I should be able to view interactive charts for data analysis.
• As a User, I should be able to calculate the carbon footprint of food production.

4. User Personas

• Admin: Responsible for managing the platform, overseeing user roles, and ensuring system security.
• Manager: Focuses on operational efficiency, sustainability metrics, and strategic decision-making.
• Analyst: Analyzes data to provide insights and forecasts for waste management and sustainability.
• Staff: Engages with the platform for day-to-day operations and monitoring.
• General User: Utilizes the platform for personal insights, recommendations, and sustainability tracking.

5. Core User Flows

• Admin logs in -> manages roles and permissions -> updates user access
• Manager accesses dashboard -> reviews ESG metrics -> generates sustainability reports
• Analyst logs in -> accesses AI Waste Prediction Engine -> forecasts waste levels
• Staff checks IoT sensor data -> receives real-time alerts -> takes necessary actions
• User logs in -> views Digital Twin Facility -> interacts with predictive maintenance alerts

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #2E8B57 (Sea Green)
• primary_light: #66CDAA (Medium Aquamarine)
• secondary: #FF6347 (Tomato)
• accent: #FFD700 (Gold)
• highlight: #FFA07A (Light Salmon)
• bg: #F5F5F5 (White Smoke)
• surface: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9)
• text: #333333 (Dark Gray)
• text_muted: #777777 (Gray)
• border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)

7. Signature Design Concept

The mega-food platform will feature an interactive "Food Ecosystem" homepage. Users will navigate through a 3D landscape representing different stages of food production and consumption. Each section will be a dynamic, clickable element that expands to reveal detailed information and interactive features. The landscape will change based on user interactions, providing a gamified experience. This concept will be implemented using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and framer-motion for smooth animations and transitions.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the content. This will enhance the storytelling aspect of the platform, making it visually engaging and informative. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model for clarity and ease of use, focusing on data presentation and user interaction.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must ensure data security and user privacy.
• The platform should be scalable to handle increased user load.
• The application must be responsive and accessible across devices.
• The system should provide real-time data updates with minimal latency.

10. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: FastAPI
• Database: PostgreSQL
• ORM: Prisma
• Authentication: JWT
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• AI Tools: Litellm for LLM Routing
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

11. Assumptions and Constraints

• The platform will primarily serve users in India, considering local currency and timezone.
• The system must comply with regional data protection regulations.
• The platform should integrate seamlessly with existing food industry systems.

12. Glossary

• RBAC: Role-Based Access Control
• ESG: Environmental, Social, and Governance
• IoT: Internet of Things
• JWT: JSON Web Token
• ORM: Object-Relational Mapping
