2.4GHz Smart Livestock Farming Solution

12/02/2025

Traditional extensive animal husbandry suffers from theft/loss, delayed disease detection, and missed estrus periods due to lack of scientific monitoring.

This solution uses ultra-low-power 2.4G active RFID ear tags (SI24R2F+) to achieve intelligent, precise, and traceable livestock management.

Core Functions

  1. Individual Count – Each animal has a unique ID; real-time headcount via 2.4G readers/base stations

  2. Range Positioning – ~300 m effective radius; lost animals located with handheld 2.4G finder (proven in e-bike anti-theft)

  3. Body Temperature Monitoring – Built-in high-precision sensor + 10-bit ADC → early illness & estrus prediction

  4. Step/Activity Counting – External vibration sensor → health & exercise analysis

  5. Ultra-Low Power – Sleep 0.7 µA → 2–3 years on a single CR2032 coin cell

Benefits

  • Immediate alerts for abnormal temperature → rapid response

  • Eliminates manual counting & monitoring → huge labor savings

  • Enables scientific breeding, food traceability, and epidemic prevention
