Integrated RFID tracking systems 

Integrated RFID tracking systems can increase productivity through monitoring and nutritional controls, protect livestock from the threat of disease and ensure safety through precisely controlled processing and distribution.


Managing animals

As commerce becomes increasingly global, the task of tracking and managing animals and food products becomes ever-more critical and challenging. Animals cannot be stacked and stored like other products. They may be transported over long distances, often mingling with others from different locations. And farm animals, zoo animals and household pets alike are all potential carriers of diseases that can threaten animal and human health and lives. 


As with animals, tracking food products through processing and transport contributes to consumer health by identifying both product origins and possible problems in processing, handling, or transport. Aside from health concerns, tracking can also be critical for animals and food products that are particularly valuable or that require special protection. 


SunRise RFID in the development of radio frequency secure contactless technology used to manage and safeguard critical assets like these.  SunRise RFID provides a full range of specialized tags for use in managing farm, laboratory, exotic, and companion animals. Our innovative products meet all applicable standards and regulations Safeguarding livestock and companion animals and are fully interoperable with other standardized components and systems.


Meeting market demands 

SunRise RFID has long recognized consumers’ concerns regarding food safety and quality. Farmers and processors have implemented rigorous systems for meeting consumer demands, but one of the biggest challenges has been tracking individual animals. This is critical for pinpointing animal origins, controlling the spread of disease, preventing fraud, and managing costs. In addition, national and regional bodies have implemented strict regulations for the handling of animals and animal-based food products.


Animals pass through many hands as they move from farm to exporter to auction house to processor. Because their movement cannot be precisely controlled, older visual technologies like tattoos and non-electronic ear-tags made tracking difficult. Secure contactless identification technologies supplement or augment these existing technologies, allowing animals to be tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders and be identified even where direct line-of-sight is not practical.


Establishing global standards

The effectiveness of RFID technology depends on establishment of, and compliance with, global standards. The memory coding structure and communication protocols for RFID tags in the animal market are defined by ISO standards 11784 and 11785. SUNRISE RFID is committed to ongoing standardization of contactless technologies. Non-traditional applicationsWhile livestock and pet identification are the most obvious applications for this technology, other applications are growing in importance. These include tagging zoo and laboratory animals as well as fish and birds. Secure identification of animals helps ensure the validity of research. It helps identify lost or stolen animals and aids in their return. It helps track animals’ veterinary history, ensure proper care, and prevent the spread of disease. In the European Union, chips implanted under the skin of pets, coupled with an EU pet passport, permits travel of animals among EU member states without quarantine.A world of optionsEffective contactless identification requires the right tools for each application. 


SUNRISE RFID YOUR SOLUTION PROVIDER.

SUNRISE RFID offers RFID tags designed to meet virtually. Transponders can be incorporated into ear tags for combined visual/radio frequency applications. Glass tags are sized from 4 mm diameter for large animals like cattle down to 1.4 mm for small animals like mice and snakes. They can be safely and permanently injected subcutaneously or embedded in a ceramic boluspermanently placed into an animal’s stomach. These ISO-compliant devices operate at 134.2 KHz and are available in read-only or one-time-programmable (OTP) configurations in FDX or HDX. 


WHAT ARE RFID LIVESTOCK TAGS?

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are electronic devices, stamped with a unique number, that identify livestock animals. Depending on the model of RFID Livestock tag, the ID number can be read by an electronic reading device. They are tamper-proof and the electronic chip is sealed within a rigid, durable plastic case, usually shaped like a disc, strip or flag.


WHY ARE RFID TAGS NECESSARY FOR MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY IN LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT?

RFID Livestock tags gives farmers the advantage of quickly identifying their animals during inventory. Visual tags have been used to identify livestock for decades. However, there are disadvantages to this technique. They are easily snagged and lost, and reading a visual tag, tattoo or brand requires each animal to remain still. The visual tag process is time-consuming and leaves plenty of room for error. On the other hand, RFID Livestock tags are designed to last with the maximum ability to remain in place, attached to the animal’s ear. Using a handheld reader, livestock can be scanned while in the chute, during feeding, or on the move. RFID tags can also store medical history. Veterinarians can scan tags during a visit to efficiently obtain vital health information.


HOW ARE RFID LIVESTOCK TAGS USED?

Swine RFID Tag The two discs that make up the tag are attached to the animal’s ear using a simple applicator tool that joins them together through the ear. The process is similar to piercing a human ear with an earring. A 15-digit number is assigned and read using radio frequency technology. When using a reader, livestock can be identified immediately.
