THE SIGNALS FROM THE RFID-UHF-EAR TAGS ARE THE "KEY" FOR THE SPECIALLY DEVELOPED LIFT GATES. SCANNERS SEND SIGNALS. THESE SIGNALS ARE SENT BACK FROM THE RFID-UHF-EAR TAGS. IN THIS WAY, THE ANIMALS CAN BE LOCATED – AND EVEN CLEARLY IDENTIFIED.
The scanners are placed above the lift gates; they detect the ear tags and are equipped with an algorithm developed by us: The scanners register the pigs’ movements; they detect whether a pig is moving from inside to outside or vice versa.
This ensures a complete documentation of the behavior and location of each individual Wiesenschwein pig. This information supports the system’s decision on the opening or closing the lift gates. It also allows to weigh the animals in a partially or fully automated way.
Thanks to this technology allowing unique identification of each Wiesenschwein pig, many more opportunities will occur that we will soon take advantage of.

Scanners from the “Sick” company detect the signals from the ear tags.
