As one of the leading food companies based in Thailand, the company has expanded its business to an Agro Business ranging from animal feed products and health products to livestock. Having its own livestock farm, the company is focusing more on the high standard of quality control in its production process.
With a large animal population that requires feeding, intensive livestock farming has been strongly linked to human health problems. Thus, all large food resources need to ensure traceability and transparency within the food chain. However, livestock is a movable asset. Continuous monitoring and quick and accurate identification has become challenging. Because of that, livestock ear tagging for traceability has turned into an ideal solution.
To better trace and track every pig from birth to the slaughterhouse, the company previously used NFC tags on its pigs' ears with a reading distance limited to 5 cm. Due to this restriction, on-site operators had to closely approach the pigs, and spend their time searching for and tracking moving pigs in order to read their data whenever they needed to identify them. It made their work harder and more time-consuming.
