Safran introduces SOPHY, a breakthrough solution to measure the quality of catering operations.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOPHY (ancient Greek for knowledge) is a universal trolley add-on that makes it possible for airlines to measure and further enhance their catering operations throughout their entire catering process chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With SOPHY airlines can get access to information helping them to take the right business decisions to further improve efficiency, reduce costs while enhancing their inflight product offering. Operational and business information will become available on the key milestones in their catering operations including handover, cleaning, food quality, stock and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is easy to integrate in existing and new trolleys fleets, resulting in low implementation efforts. SOPHY is designed to resist demanding conditions that are inherent to daily catering operations. All tags are watertight and temperature resistant, ensuring perfect operation in the aviation industry. SOPHY complies with worldwide regulations and certification standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mature and tested technology is developed together with Undagrid, a specialist in Internet of Things Solutions for the aviation industry. The company provides already autonomous dynamic asset management at more than 20 airports worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
