Tags Tags Tags, cattle ear tags
After beef week 2021 Station Innovation realized that there was a popular new technology becoming available to track and monitor the location of your cattle. Battery and solar powered GPS ear tags. Some of these tags require purpose built towers to collect the data whereas we thought to ourselves why couln't the EcoSAT be used to collect the data? And so we got to work adding the capability to the EcoSAT monitor (which already includes UHF). By doing so we have allowed the EcoSAT tank monitor to also function as a listener, reporting the location of nearby tags.
In parallel with this, CRES tags approached us to become a software partner. This collaboration opens up a world of possibilities for us. By integrating Ceres tags into our system, we are expanding our offerings to include a diverse range of animal tracking solutions. With the inclusion of Ceres tags, we can now provide both cost-effective, high-density UHF animal tracking tags, as well as cutting-edge remote long-range tracking tags that leverage satellite technology. This means that you can track your animals from anywhere, without the need for any additional hardware.
The seamless integration of Ceres tags into our system not only enhances our capabilities but also adds a new layer of functionality to our existing tank monitoring services. With the EcoSAT system, you now have a comprehensive solution that combines animal tracking and tank monitoring in one powerful platform. This integration not only simplifies your operations but also provides you with a holistic view of your assets and resources.
By leveraging the partnership with Ceres tags, we are able to offer you a complete solution that is both efficient and versatile. Whether you are tracking animals in a dense urban environment or monitoring tanks in a remote location, the EcoSAT system is designed to meet your needs. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide innovative solutions that empower our customers to succeed in their endeavors.
So why use tags?
By tracking your cattle with GPS ear tags you can see which watering points are their favorites, how much of the paddock they are they grazing, have they gotten out and even detect problems. For example, "Why are the cattle all hanging around that one watering point?"
What are the costs?
There is a lot of variation in the costs. This is largely due to the fact that the tags each have their own advantages and applications where they are best suited. You should consider carefully which ones are right for you before choosing. If you would like to discuss these products in more details call Station Innovation on 1300-781-134.
What do I get out of a tag?
The EcoSAT website allows you to draw an area of any shape or size. You can then designate areas that each tag either may remain within or must stay out of. As soon as a GPS location is detected where it is not supposed to be you can setup the system to send you an email or SMS alert allowing you to take action as early as possible.
