A Per-Point IDentification (PPID) system can offer a reliable, tailor-made RFID solution for any herd size, type of parlor or type of tag. PPID is the ultimate solution for ear tag identification in large batch type and rotary parlors. Due to the relatively small antennas, environmental noise is greatly reduced, improving ID performance and any ‘not identified’ animal. PPID is not reliant upon datasets of any other cow. Can be used for neck, leg and ear mounted tags.
The use of RFID ear tags can have their difficulties. Due to their reduced size compared to management tags, ear tags perform far less than management tags which leads to reduced reading ranges. On top of this, the relatively low performance of ear tags must “compete” with environmental electrical noise which can further deteriorate ID performance.
A Per-Point IDentification (PPID) system can offer the dairyman a reliable, tailor-made RFID solution for any herd size, type of parlor or type of tag. PPID is the ultimate solution for ear tag identification in large batch type and rotary parlors. Due to the relatively small antennas, environmental noise hardly affects ID performance and any not identified animal does not affect reliability of datasets of any other cow.
PPID can be used on rotary and parallel (side-by-side) stalls and can be used with both neck and ear mounted tags.
