YardsTech® Panel Reader
The YardsTech® Panel Readers, like our stick readers allow you to scan tags directly into your mobile device, tablet or individual animal management software.
The YardsTech® Panel Reader can be mounted on the side of your crush or weigh box and enables hands free scanning of any passing animals. The reader is compatible with both sheep and cattle tags, using HDX technology (i.e. NLIS tags).
There are two different sized panels available to suit whatever your application. The larger panel has a bigger read area and slightly greater read range.
The reader module has a small built in battery that can be used for short duration work, or it can be connected to an external battery via the battery adapter provided.
YardsTech® Stick Reader
The YardsTech® Stick Reader is the most versatile stick reader on the market today. You can scan tags directly into your mobile device, tablet or individual animal management software.
The YardsTech® Stick Reader is manufactured using the very latest in materials. The carbon fibre tube makes it both strong and tough, but also incredibly light.
The reader is compatible with both sheep and cattle tags, using HDX technology (i.e. NLIS tags). The full length reader is 730mm overall length and weighs in at 575g, while the Stubby version is only 450mm long and a tiny 500g in weight.
YardsTech® Scales
Meet the most progressive way to weigh your livestock ...
FarmXL® is proud to introduce the YardsTech® Scales and YardsTech® App. A revolution in the way you record animal weights and data, and make real-time decisions in the yards.
Using your phone or tablet/iPad, or even your laptop, you can now easily capture weights, view animal history, weights and weight gain.
No longer are you tied to using complex and expensive indicators, that provide very little real-time and historical information about the animals you are handling.
The YardsTech® Scales can be connected to almost any livestock industry standard load bars.
Connectivity
The YardsTech® Scales, Stick and Panel Reader are primarily designed to use WiFi, to allow simple and robust connectivity. No longer do you have to struggle to get your Bluetooth working and consistent.
The YardsTech® Scales, Stick and Panel Reader are the perfect addition to your animal management software application and is compatible with most of the software available today (such as Stockbook or AgriWebb).
The YardsTech® devices are configured to act as a WiFi hotspot (WiFi access point) which provides you with a WiFi network in your yards.
Note that if you really want to use Bluetooth as your connectivity platform we still have you covered there. Both the YardsTech® Scales and Stick Reader are Bluetooth compatible.
YardsTech® App
The YardsTech® App is the primary interface to the YardsTech® Scales, YardsTech® Stick Reader and YardsTech® Panel Reader.
From within the YardsTech® App you can configure any YardsTech® device currently connected to the same network as the App.
The YardsTech® App provides you with a data capture screen which allows you to easily capture and view data associated with a particular animal.
The information is clear and concise and allows you to make an informed decision about the animal in front of you.
Session data captured with the YardsTech® App can be viewed at any time. You can even view an individual animal with data consolidated from all available sessions.
The data captured by the App can be easily shared and exported for use by any third party application.
