Smart Paddock has created the Bluebell tag which attaches securely onto each animal and monitors the temperature, activity state, and geo-location, which the producer can easily access from a web dashboard or mobile phone application.
The Bluebell tag is attached using standard ear tag implementation tools or with a collar. The data is sent via a local wireless gateway module that is installed in the vicinity of the herd. Only 1 or 2 gateways required depending on the number of animals tracked and the size and location of the paddock.
Key Features
- Supports large paddocks with very long range (5-15 km) communications using LoRaWAN wireless standards
- Very accurate location tracking using best in breed GPS satellite technology
- Collar versions come with extended battery for more frequent GPS location updates
How does it add value ?
- Geo-fence alerts for stray or stolen animals
- Alerts for downed animals when calving and lambing
- Track and detect lame and lazy bulls and rams
