TagTracker™

TagTracker™ is a rugged hand-held wireless RFID reader that can withstand the rigors of field use. It's tough casing can withstand repeated blows and drops - even being run over by a pick-up truck. The reader includes International Standards Organization (ISO)-compliant RFID electronics as well as wireless (no cables) communications. The TagTracker™ reader reads an RFID tag and communicates with a base station connected to a PC computer that can sit over 100 feet away.

With TagTracker™ there are no mechanical switches to trigger an RFID read, which means nothing to wear out. The finger breaking an infrared beam at the trigger  activates Reading of an RFID tag.

In a typical AgInfoLink Global data collection session, the handheld TagTracker™ reader reads an RFID eartag to identify the animal. A workcard with embedded RFID transponders can also be associated with various events. TagTracker™ is used to scan the workcard to record these pre –programmed events.  These workcards enable chute side data collection without having to use the keyboard. Feedback to the user comes via an audio response.
