RFID ear tag recognition
Automated animal identification – contactless, compliant, integrated.
Your Challenge Challenge Challenge
Are you still entering data manually, or have you already switched to automatic recognition?
In many farms, animal identification is still carried out by visual inspection: ear tag numbers must be read and entered manually into systems – under time pressure, at high speeds, and under restricted conditions. Errors are inevitable.
Our Solution Solution Solution
RFID ear tag recognition
FOODFAIR's RFID ear tag recognition automates animal identification – contactless, AT-compliant, and without a line of sight. Data is captured directly as the animal passes through an antenna field, for example at delivery or at the stunning box.
What the solution does
- Automatic detection via AT-compliant RFID ear tags
- No visual contact required – reading even with concealed labels
- Integration into existing systems via reader and splitter box
- Optional: Recording of standing times, e.g. at the stunning box
- Basis for a networked database with additional modules
Your benefits
What RFID recognition offers – and how you benefit
RFID ear tag recognition reduces staff workload, minimizes errors, and increases process reliability. It is particularly suitable for cattle, but can also be used for other animal species—provided they are identified with RFID ear tags.
Error prevention
No transposed digits or misassignments due to manual entries.
Increase in efficiency
Automated recording at high cycle rates – without additional effort.
Legal certainty
Compatible with the Austrian requirement for RFID tagging of cattle (since 2019).
Animal welfare data
Optional dwell times can be recorded and used to evaluate downtimes.
Open system & connectable
Connection to ERP, QS, or other FOODFAIR modules possible.
Your possibilities – our goal
Identification is the beginning—not the end.
RFID ear tag recognition lays the foundation for further steps toward a digital process chain: Whether linking to classification or diagnosis systems, QS connections, or later movement analyses, this solution provides a reliable basis.
LF RFID technology is used, which is compatible with the Austrian standard (AT-ID). In principle, the system is also suitable for other animal species, provided they are equipped with RFID ear tags.
- Can be supplemented by classification or weighing
- Can be combined with animal welfare documentatio
- Integration into existing systems (e.g., ERP or QS)
- Movement or dwell time data can be recorded optionally
The next step starts here
When identification is automated, true traceability is achieved.
RFID ear tag recognition not only replaces manual recording—it creates reliable data and a stable foundation for greater automation in your line.
Let's work together to find out what solutions your business really needs—today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
5 common questions about RFID ear tag recognition:
Which RFID ear tags are compatible?
The system works with AT-compliant ear tags, which have been mandatory for cattle since 2019.
How does detection work?
The ear tag is automatically recognized when passing through the antenna array – even without a line of sight.
What happens when a brand is not recognized?
Unrecognized processes are registered and marked by the system.
Can I integrate the solution into existing systems?
Yes – common IT and control systems can be connected via Reader and Splitterbox.
Is the solution only suitable for cattle?
In principle, it can also be used for other animal species, provided that RFID ear tags are used.
