Transforming In-Flight Dining: Advancing Airline Catering Quality to Improve Customer Satisfaction
In the aviation and food solutions industry, ensuring that in-flight meals are assembled meticulously and accurately without any missing items is crucial. However, the traditional method relies heavily on manual labour, making it costly and inefficient. Therefore, there is a need for a more cost-effective and streamlined approach.
An average of 2 million passengers are served meals daily with various options, from vegetarian to pescatarian dishes that include bread rolls and pudding to savoury selections like chicken or beef. With demand this high, airline caterers spend millions of dollars annually conducting manual meal assembly checks. Aicadium aims to revolutionise this labour-intensive quality control process to enhance efficiency where precision and customer satisfaction are paramount.
Areas of focus
By implementing new camera infrastructure, Aicadium can deploy a comprehensive AI-powered solution that leverages data visualisation and optimises in-flight kitchen operations. Aicadium View’s primary function is to ensure accuracy of in-flight meal loading and that every passenger receives the correct meal.
This solution streamlines operations by standardising quality control processes and simplifying time-consuming tasks of meal and beverage verification, ensuring efficiency and precision in service delivery.
Quality Control Standardisation
Providing high-quality in-flight meals enhances customer experience and maintains a positive company reputation. Automating the counting of completed goods within a container and monitoring their presence on trolleys reduces reliance on manual quality control checks.
