Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Dutch Airlines KLM is working on using AI to minimise food waste by accurately estimating meal quantities for each flight, considering the 3-5 percent of passengers who either don’t show up or arrive late.<\/p>\n

The KLM’s new AI model, called TRAYS, is configured to forecast passenger numbers based on historical data.<\/p>\n

The Meals On Board System (MOBS) then uses these predictions to provide separate forecasts for the Business, Premium Comfort, and Economy classes.<\/p>\n

The prediction using the AI model starts 17 days before departure and continues until 20 minutes before the flight departs.<\/p>\n

This means that the most accurate possible number of passengers is predicted for the entire catering process from purchasing to loading, thus preventing a surplus of meals.<\/p>\n

The TRAYS model was launched at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that we have been able to make a valuable contribution to this important project for KLM,” said Sander Stomph, the CEO and co-founder of Kickstart AI.<\/p>\n

He said Kickstart AI’s goal is to accelerate the adoption of AI in the Dutch business community.<\/p>\n

A three-month analysis shows that using TRAYS, 63 percent less food is wasted compared to catering for every booked passenger.<\/p>\n

The largest improvements were seen on intercontinental KLM flights from Schiphol, where 2.5 fewer meals (1.3 kg) needed to be thrown away per flight.<\/p>\n

On an annual basis, this amounts to a saving of 111,000 kilos in meals across all KLM flights that are catered from Schiphol.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, KLM continues to use AI across various business areas, including smarter aircraft maintenance and predicting bad weather for optimal scheduling.<\/p>\n

This is in addition to sending out personalised travel tips for customers post-booking.<\/p>\n
