- Semtech has announced
that after an extensive,
year long test,
its LoRa wireless technology
has been selected by
Quantified AG to improve
the welfare and productivity
of livestock through the ingenious use
of a health tracking ear tag.
The ear tag is part of a
complete health monitoring system
in which sensors constantly
track livestock's temperature,
movement and other vital signs.
The information is then sent
to a central system in the cloud,
where it is processed,
and the data is then made
available to the feedlot
or ranch for viewing via
smartphones and other devices.
The LoRa based solution provides the range
scalability and battery life
needed to track thousands
of animals with one gateway,
making the system easy to install,
and cost effective.
According to Quantified
AG CEO Vishal Singh,
all of this adds up to healthier animals,
and increased productivity
for feedlot operations.
