An industry responsible for $1.02 trillion in total economic output in the U.S., translating to 5.6% of gross domestic product (GDP), is making a shift a quite dramatic one at that.

Responsible for feeding 326 million Americans and producing roughly 52 billion pounds of red meat and 48 billion pounds of poultry annually is reason enough to seek out and implement the most cutting-edge technology available. Today, that technology happens to be robotics and automation in meat and poultry processing facilities.
