Cattle Farm Owners, Australia and New Zealand
Agriculture (Cattle Farming)
Australia and New Zealand
Cattle farm owners in Australia and New Zealand were using ear buds or neck bands for livestock monitoring, with costs reaching $50 for buds and $1000 for neck bands. These devices were primarily used for GPS tracking, but did not provide additional insights into the health or other critical statistics of the cattle. This limited the farm owners’ ability to monitor and manage their herds effectively and was an expensive investment that only addressed one aspect of cattle management.
Solution Provided by Vistaarnksh Pvt. Ltd.:
Vistaarnksh offered a more cost-effective and data-enriched solution for cattle monitoring, which integrates IoT connectivity, satellite communication, and health monitoring capabilities. The proposed solution includes a band or bud costing around $40, with satellite bandwidth costs as low as $8 per month, making it far more affordable for farm owners while delivering comprehensive data on cattle health and movement.
1. Cost-Effective Monitoring Bands/Buds:
• The $40 band/bud offers GPS tracking similar to the existing solution but at a significantly lower cost.
• The solution includes integrated sensors that monitor vital health statistics such as heart rate, temperature, and activity levels, providing valuable insights into the cattle’s well-being.
2. Satellite Connectivity for Remote Areas:
• Using satellite connectivity, the solution ensures reliable communication even in remote farming regions where traditional network coverage is limited or unavailable.
• The satellite bandwidth is priced affordably at $8 per month, making it a cost-effective option for continuous data transfer.
3. Health Monitoring and Vital Statistics:
• In addition to GPS tracking, the solution captures health metrics such as heart rate, body temperature, and activity levels, allowing farm owners to closely monitor the health of each animal.
• The ability to track changes in vital signs helps in early detection of potential health issues, enabling farm owners to take proactive measures to prevent illness or injury.
4. Real-Time Data and Reporting:
• Data collected from the devices is transmitted in real-time to a centralized dashboard, providing farm owners with immediate insights into their cattle’s health, location, and activity.
• The system can generate detailed reports on individual animals or the entire herd, helping with decision-making, resource allocation, and herd management.
5. Scalable and Flexible Solution:
• The system is scalable, allowing farm owners to easily add more devices as their herd grows or if they need additional features.
• The solution is adaptable to various farming operations, from small family-owned farms to large-scale commercial operations.
Vistaarnksh’s affordable, data-driven cattle monitoring solution offers farm owners in Australia and New Zealand a cost-effective way to track cattle health, monitor vital statistics, and enhance overall herd management. By providing GPS tracking, health monitoring, and affordable satellite connectivity, Vistaarnksh is helping the agriculture industry improve cattle management while reducing costs and enhancing productivity.
