To do this correctly usually requires hiring additional staff, or at the very least, adding work to the existing staff. In this case, the chickens still need to be cooked by humans (there was no mention of the technology taking over on that front) so there really was no burden being removed by the technology, other than the analytics into how many to make on any given day, a minor part of the manager’s workday.
