Beacons above the herd.
Reference points for locating.
Beacons positioned around the barn transmit signals received by compatible neck sensors. The system uses this information to calculate animal positions.
The beacon stays in the barn
Mounted on the structure, it forms part of the locating infrastructure. It is separate from the sensor worn by the cow.
The neck sensor moves with the cow
The SmartTag version must include locating functionality. AGYE checks the models and coverage required for your project.

Understand the solutionAnswers
Answers
before you choose.
Is this GPS tracking for grazing animals?
This solution covers the equipped barn and areas served by the Cow Locating infrastructure. It is not GPS tracking for animals at pasture.
Are all sensors compatible?
Locating requires suitable sensors and infrastructure. Monitoring equipment does not automatically include this function. AGYE checks equipment models before recommending a configuration.
Do I have to move to NOW?
Locating is also available in Velos installations equipped and licensed for Cow Locating. Access and screens differ between systems. We assess your existing installation.
What does an older position mean?
The map may show the last known position rather than an updated one. In NOW, older markers are distinguished and the last detection is shown. Check this information before searching.
