Description

Digital monitoring of grazing animals using sensors on the grazing animals. By attaching a GPS tag to a collar worn by the animal during the grazing season, it is possible to follow the animal's activity on a web-based dashboard or via an app. On maps, the pastures can be marked and alerts can be received from the system if an animal escapes outside the pasture. It is also possible to receive an alert if the position of the animals does not change within a certain time. By looking at the animals' last position, it can simplify grazing supervision of animals on large pastures and animals that deviate from the herd for unknown reasons are easier to identify.

The GPS tags are primarily sold as complete packages with tags and collars. In addition, there is a subscription for the web-based dashboard and app. The tags can be reused for the next baiting season, but a battery change is usually needed. In addition to GPS position, several of the products offer other features such as activity trackers and virtual fences.
