Maximum Precision. Minimal Power.
The best software is useless if the battery dies after a year. That’s why we rely on a dual-AI architecture: a lightweight AI right on the ear tag for local pre-processing, and a high-performance cloud AI for deep health analytics.
Multi-Stage AI
Smart Workload Distribution
Continuously beaming raw sensor data across the barn would drain any battery in record time and overload wireless bandwidth. That’s why we strictly divide the workload: a small AI model right on the tag handles the pre-processing, while our main cloud AI analyzes the animal's complete health status. This slashes power draw and enables up to 5 years of battery life.
Edge Intelligence
Smart Processing at the Source
Our ear tag continuously captures all head movements of your animals. Instead of transmitting this massive raw data stream, the first AI model evaluates these movements directly on the tag. It automatically identifies what the animal was doing during that timeframe and transmits only the final result to our servers. This massive data reduction is the key to long battery life.
Cloud AI
The Complete Picture
The HerdTek Cloud brings it all together. This is where our main cloud AI takes over, combining the tag’s behavioral data with cardiovascular metrics like heart rate and HRV. Analyzing this complete picture lets the system detect health anomalies early, long before physical symptoms ever show.
AI Training
Learning from Real Footage
For the ear tag to recognize what activities like feeding or resting look like as raw data patterns, it must be trained first. During our development trials, we record reference behavior on camera and link this footage directly to the tag's raw motion data. Step by step, our AI models learn how to accurately interpret the sensor data.
Data Validation
Ground-Truth Verification
Our system doesn't require cameras in your barn. We use video strictly during internal R&D trials to establish ground truth. When a tag logs an anomaly during testing, our engineers cross-reference the footage against raw motion data to verify accuracy and calibrate our models.
Over-the-Air Updates
A System That Keeps Learning
HerdTek is built to evolve. We will refine the tag's local AI using data from the upcoming pilot program, driving higher accuracy across different breeds and barn environments. Over-the-air updates push these upgrades straight to the tags, while our cloud engine continually improves in parallel. The entire system grows smarter over time without swapping a single tag.
Shape the future of dairy farming with us.
Ahead of our 2027 market launch, we are partnering with progressive dairy farms for our final pilot phase. Your field feedback will directly shape a system built with zero compromise for daily farm operations.
