Tyson has about 50 facilities in the U.S. that process chicken. Incorrect counts could result in too much chicken being processed, meaning it could spoil, or an undersupply of chicken. The move could result in some reductions in the number of workers, though that isn’t the main goal, Mr. Slezak said. They are mostly used to validate correct packaging and labeling stickers on manufacturing lines that process products in large quantities, he said. The accuracy rate for identifying the product type and SKU number is in the high-90% range, using computer vision, an estimated 20% improvement over manual processes, Mr. Slezak said.
