Tesco to deploy AFRC at Tenbury

Tesco already use ANPR Automatic Number Plate Recognition to help control their car parks, but in Tenbury they have gone one step further and have installed ACFR Automatic Customer Face Recognition. This system links into a database of names and faces collated from sources such as Facebook, Twitter etc.

Spokesperson Aprilla Uno said we want to be able to help our colleagues recognise loyal customers and greet them by name".

Tesco have declined to comment on the speculation that this system will enable staff to spot people entering the store who were part of the No Tesco campaign.
