ARDES has conceived several years ago a RFID electronic ear tags’ range. But an electronic ear tag without an efficacy reading system is nothing.

In collaboration with our partner laboratory specialized in electronic measures, the ‘’RFT Lab ®”, ARDES has tested dozen of reading systems and has chosen 2 partner companies: BIOCONTROL and GALLAGHER. Readers manufactured by these companies offers the best performances with ARDES ear tags:

-Reading distance

-Reliability

-Robustness and ergonomic.

An immediate identification system

BIOCONTROL AND GALLAGHER electronic readers were conceived to suit to cattle, sheep, goat and swine breeders. They are available in two models: portable or fix. The Radio Frequency Electronic Identification (RFID) allows to bring the animal identification number out, implementing solutions in the field : herd management software, milking parlor assistance, automatic weighing system, animals sorting automation, automatic animals count, automatic feed distribution…

Our advantages

ISO 11784/11785 standards approved, portable and fix electronic readers offer an optimum reading distance with a high reliability of its performances.

A reading distance higher than standards in the market

Thanks to different size of portable electronic readings antennas, the ear tags detection is made in an efficacy and adapted way. Installed in an appropriate location, fix electronic readers allow a ‘’hand-free’’ reading of electronic ear tags. Also, thanks to the ‘’auto-tuning’’ system, it’s not required for readers to adjust antenna in case of frequencies waves changes in a specific environment. Otherwise, the products robustness, higher than the competition, allows to prevent any damage, and their ergonomic handle makes its holding easier.

Ease of use

ARDES guarantee through its readers’ range a high reading performance. During the identification, different alerts signs (sound, vibratory, vocal) can be produced to transfer you relevant information. Finally, through different proceeds (USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth), information transmission from a reader can be made easily to computers, other readers and information processing systems.

Smart Reader HR3 by GALLAGHER owns a hand-protection ergonomically conceived to reduce injury risks. As comfortable as easy to use, it sends vibratory alerts to indicate the well process of the reading. This reader matches to all data captures devices, and it is proposed optionally with a Bluetooth communication.

iMAN by BIOCONTROL allows a high performance of reading thanks to its different antennas removable and exchangeable. It is one of the rare readers in the market to possess a double function: portable reader and computer under Windows CE. It can contain a high number of software of herd management.

HHR 3000 LT by BIOCONTROL, has an intern ferrite antenna. However, it is not exchangeable.

HHR 3000 Pro by BIOCONTROL, JRC, CCIA, ICAR and FFC approved disposes of a Bluetooth system allowing an instantaneous transmission of information. Also, this portable reader has an antenna composed of an air coil permitting an intensive usage.

Identification with fix electronic readers is made when the animal is at proximity of the antenna’s reader. Fix readers can be installed in a stunning box, in a corridor, in a parlor, in an automate, on a slaughter line.

The Stationary Reader SR3000 by BIOCONTROL offers an exceptional identification by radio frequency. This fix electronic reader has the possibility to read two pieces of information entry and output and was conceived for an easy integration in an environment.

Smart Reader Series BR by GALLAGHER, ISO standards approved, has an intern memory capable of register 20 000 labels. It is guaranteed two years and doesn’t require any antenna adjustment.
