BOTH LONG & SHORT RANGE
The longer range of UHF allows animals to be identified without confining or restraining them. But UHF equipment can also be adjusted to a short read range for identifying an individual animal. One size fits all.
ALL THE PIECES WORK TOGETHER
Our electronic ID tags, readers, mobile devices and software have all been prequalified and are guaranteed to work seamlessly together. Workers spend their time on animal care instead of tech support, improving job satisfaction and work productivity.
SECURE, FLEXIBLE DATA ACCESS
All that value-added data and herd/group information is securely stored in the FST cloud and accessible by authorized users on any smartphone, tablet or computer with internet access. Your data, when you need it, how you need it.
HANDS-FREE OPTIONS
Replacing visual monitoring and hand data entry with automated data collection improves the speed and productivity of any operation and costly human errors are avoided. Stationary, hands-free EID equipment takes productivity to an even higher level.
