Consumption Analytics: From waste to wisdom

How can an airline serve meals that passengers love and save food waste at the same time? The LSG Group's new technology Consumption Analytics provides the answer. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), trays returning to the factory are automatically and analyzed to determine what has been eaten or not fully consumed. Robin Sippel, Head of Digital Agenda, explains the science behind going from waste to wisdom. The LSG Group is the quality and technology leader in airline catering and related markets. It has two strong, independent expert brands: LSG Sky Chefs, a globally active catering specialist with the highest hygiene and quality standards for airlines, the home-delivery market and retail. Retail inMotion, which specializes in on-board retail, product development and technology solutions, sets standards with its understanding of partnership and its innovative strength. The LSG Group (International) is headquartered in Neu-Isenburg, near Frankfurt, Germany, and has an extensive network of joint ventures and partnerships around the globe. In the pandemic year 2021, the 15,600 employees at 140 locations in 40 countries worldwide generated consolidated revenue of 1,113 million euros. LSG Sky Chefs produced 131 million meals (excluding through minority shareholdings) during this period.
