Symbol Helps Northern Herd Development Milk RFID for Improved Productivity

Overview Northern Herd Development Co-operative Ltd (NHD) provides dairy herd improvement services. On 'herd test day' it is essential that the samples be placed in the correct place in the crate so that each cow's morning and afternoon samples can be matched to give an overall result, and to ensure the sample corresponds to the right cow. NHD's solution brings together RFID scanners from Texas Instruments, a sorting robot from Robot Technologies and a wireless, handheld computer with barcode scanner from Symbol Technologies. Icon Global tied the elements together with integration software. The system has eliminated manual work, making the testing process easier, faster and more reliable.
