Revolutionary smart ear tag combining GPS tracking with satellite connectivity for real-time cattle location monitoring without cellular infrastructure.
Ceres Tag is a groundbreaking smart ear tag that combines GPS location tracking with satellite connectivity to monitor cattle anywhere in the world. Unlike cellular-based trackers, Ceres Tag works even in the most remote locations without any ground infrastructure.
The tag captures GPS location at configurable intervals and transmits data via satellite to the cloud platform. The system provides real-time location maps, geofence alerts when cattle leave defined areas, and activity monitoring for health insights.
Originally developed in Australia for extensive cattle operations, Ceres Tag is now used globally for cattle security, management efficiency, and behavioral monitoring.
