The right cows.
In the right place.
Prepare interventions without searching for each animal in the herd. SmartSort directs selected cows into the separation area as they pass through.

Prepare animal care.
Make work easier.
A cow to observe, an insemination to prepare or a scheduled intervention: sorting brings the relevant animals together while the rest continue along their usual route.
Bring cows together for checks.
Make observation and preparation for interventions easier for your team or veterinarian.
Spend less time searching the group.
Integrate separation into the animals’ route, for example at the milking parlour exit where the layout allows.

One passage, the right directionYou plan the sorting.
You plan the sorting.
The gate carries it out.
1. Prepare your selection
Select animals or define separation rules in the compatible system.
2. Identify the cow
As the animal passes, the system recognises it through its compatible identification device.
3. Direct its route
The gate directs selected animals into the separation pen. Other cows follow their usual route.

A project designed for your farmThe right location
The right location
is part of the solution.
Before choosing equipment, let’s review your building, animal movements and working routines. AGYE works with you and your distributor to plan a suitable layout.
The cows’ route
The milking parlour exit, access to the separation pen and return to the group: every route needs to be considered.
Existing identification
We check the identification devices worn by your animals, the reader and the compatibility of your installation.
Your working routines
Herd size, animal movements, interventions and staff: your everyday work is the starting point.
Does SmartSort detect heat?
SmartSort handles sorting. Heat information comes from a compatible monitoring system. The gate follows the selections and rules set in the installation.
Can I keep my existing equipment?
This depends on your equipment models, software and identification devices. Share these details with AGYE so we can check compatibility and any adaptations required.
Is an ear monitoring sensor enough for sorting?
Behaviour monitoring and the identification used by the gate are different functions. An ear monitoring sensor alone does not guarantee compatibility: the SmartSort version and identification system must be checked.
What should I prepare for a project assessment?
A building plan or photographs, herd size, current animal routes and equipment model details provide a useful starting point.
