With the development of agricultural science and technology, many farms have also used UHF RFID ear tag technology. The purpose of this article is to objectively present the specific application examples of this technology in different breeding scenarios and its inherent advantages and limitations, so that regulatory enterprises can make more informed choices according to their own needs.
1. Understand UHF RFID ear tag technology
As an advanced radio frequency identification device, UHF RFID ear tag works on the principle of contactless communication with readers over a long distance through radio waves, especially for remote identification and tracking of large-scale biological assets. Compared with low-frequency RFID, UHF ear tags achieve a quick inventory of groups by virtue of a longer recognition distance. The disadvantage is that it is more affected by metals and liquids.
2. Analysis of application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages
Scenario 1: Handheld terminals cooperate with inventory
In the process of feeding, supervisors can easily complete a large-scale rapid inventory of livestock in the area with the help of handheld terminals or large antenna all-in-one machines. The advantage of this scheme is that the inventory efficiency is significantly improved, and the inventory data is directly synchronized to the living supervision system of agricultural and forestry cloud biological assets to form a traceable record. However, this also means that manual intervention is still required, and while inventory is faster than low-frequency RFID, there is still room for full automation.
Scenario 2: Automated supervision of smart devices
Reading devices are installed on the living areas of livestock, such as access passages, drinking points and salt licking bricks, which can automatically capture livestock information, transmit it to the supervision system in real time, automatically generate inventory reports and trigger abnormal alarms. The advantage of this scenario is that there is no need for frequent manual inspections, and automatic inventory is realized, which greatly reduces the burden of manpower. However, for UHF RFID, environmental conditions such as moisture, bio-occlusion, label stains, and metal fencing can lead to reduced readability.
Scenario 3: Intelligent monitoring and early warning of fences
Reading equipment is installed at key positions in the fence, which can monitor the entry and exit status of animals in real time and quickly alarm abnormal behaviors. While UHF RFID ear tags can help with remote monitoring under ideal conditions, it is also important to note that their performance may be degraded in some complex environments.
3. Adaptability and selection considerations
Although UHF RFID ear tags have shown strong advantages in biological asset group disks, such as remote identification, fast inventory and high automation, their anti-interference ability and stability in specific environments need to be further improved, after all, we all know that the farm fence is just metal, and the feeding trough has water.
Therefore, when the supervision unit applies UHF RFID technology supervision, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific environmental conditions, investment costs and long-term operational benefits of the corresponding farms. Of course, whether it is the selection of UHF RFID ear tags or other types of RFID technology, the Nonglinyun Biological Asset Liveness Supervision System can provide a highly compatible and flexible solution to meet the diverse needs of biological asset supervision. When choosing the right technology route, regulators should weigh the pros and cons against the actual situation to ensure that the chosen solution can not only achieve the desired regulatory efficiency, but also adapt to the changing market demand.
