Beeftrack System
Beeftrack is a cattle management and traceability system for feedlots. The system is Cloud based which enables farmers to view a dashboard and manage operations in real time on line and using mobile phones.
Beeftrack collects data using the following methods:
-
Handheld RFID scanners are used for Registration, Identification, Weighing, Treatment and Pen Location
-
Fixed RFID scanners are used for registration, weighing and location.
The data collected by the scanners are stored on the scanners and uploaded to the Cloud when an Internet Connection is available.
Tracking Module
This module supports the following functions:
-
Registering: Using RFID enabled ear tags, cattle are registered on receiving and the relevant data is captured such as origin, breed, sex and condition
-
Identification: by scanning an animal in the field, it can be identified and the full history can be retrieved
-
Weighing: Beeftrack identifies each head of cattle and captures its weight automatically, improving accuracy and speed
-
Treatment: The condition and treatment of each head of cattle is captured and linked to its traceability record
-
Location: The pen location of each animal is captured and maintained
-
Disposal: Should an animal die, the details and reason is captured
-
Marketing: Animals sent for sale and scanned and the data captured automatically
