SHERATON MALDIVES INVESTS IN TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABILITY

  • 09 August 2023

The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is investing in cutting-edge technology to significantly minimize food waste at the resort's seven food and beverage outlets as part of its continued effort to play a proactive role in environmental protection. The five-star resort on the exclusive island of Furanafushi is looking into creative uses of artificial intelligence to address the shocking fact that, according to Earth.Org, about one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted while one in nine people go hungry.

The efficient management of air conditioning systems with INNCOM's assistance to increase energy efficiency in the rooms as well as promote sustainability is an addition to the all-encompassing measures. The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa has incorporated Winnow's AI into its procedures to increase awareness of daily waste creation and to further promote sustainability in practice. This includes a camera so that food waste may be monitored in terms of what food and how much of it. The cost of food waste may be calculated using this new technology, and it can also be instantly forwarded to the chef so that he can change the estimate as necessary. The goal is to cut down on-site food waste by at least 50%.

Additionally, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resorts & Spa goes above and beyond only managing food waste. They also utilise technology which evaluates each accommodation's guest status and adjusts the air conditioning accordingly. In order to conserve electricity, the air conditioning is left on when a room is empty. The device automatically adjusts to the current ambient circumstances to maintain the ideal room temperature while a room is inhabited.

The automatic shutdown of the air conditioner when the room door is opened to the outside is another practical measure to prevent energy waste. The resort is getting closer to achieving total energy efficiency thanks to this clever element, which also helps to lower energy use.
