Texas Instrument's RFID tagging technology is being used as part of a new MultiRead RFID Tracking System developed by Aleis International to allow cattle owners to comply with Australia's stringent National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS).
Established to meet livestock identification and traceability requirements mandated by the European Union (EU) in 1999, NLIS is the largest and most sophisticated livestock database and management system anywhere in the world. Australia was the first country to adopt electronic RFID tracking for all cattle exports.
All animals are tagged (using a rumen pellet or ear tag) with a low frequency 134,2 kHz RFID transponder from Texas Instruments RFID Systems. As many as 3000 cattle can be recorded each day with the Aleis MultiRead System, compared to previous methods, which tracked a daily average of only a few hundred animals. In addition to compliance with EU guidelines, other advantages of the system include more accurate tracking and data capture, faster processing time, decreased labour costs, and more efficient communication throughout the entire supply chain.
Warrnambool Livestock Exchange in Victoria is the first cattle market to use TI's latest ISO 11784/5 compliant low frequency RFID transponders. As animals move through the saleyard weighing system, readers installed across a laneway, or at the entrance or exit to a weighbridge, identify and track them. Because RFID technology does not require line-of-sight, it takes only a millisecond to read an animal's unique ID number, allowing cattle to be identified quickly and accurately, without physical restraint.
The NLIS database was established in response to the European Union's demand for a tamper proof animal identification and traceback system. Producers on the NLIS database are required to identify cattle with an accredited radio frequency identification device (RFID).
