In other Etihad news, the airline has partnered with Singapore food technology start-up Lumitics to trial the use of computer vision and machine learning to reduce food wastage on flights.
The tie-up will see Etihad and Lumitics track unconsumed Economy class meals with the collated data used to highlight food consumption and wastage patterns across the network. Analysis of the results will help to reduce food waste, improve meal planning and reduce operating costs.
Lumitics’ ‘Insight Life’ technology uses AI and image recognition to differentiate and identify the types and quantity of unconsumed meals based on the design of the meal foils without requiring manual intervention.
