Find my Cow now available worldwide

1 Apr 2019 News 2 min

CowManager’s new extra functionality Find my Cow is now officially available worldwide. Save time and money by no longer having to search for cows in heat, sick cows, and cows in the paddock.

The smart cow locator is the latest addition to the smart cow monitoring solution of CowManager. The tool is fully integrated with CowManager’s other unique modules. This combination makes it easy to find cows in heat and intervene fast after receiving health alerts.

Saving labour and costs

During the entire production, CowManager kept its focus on the company’s vision to develop smart and easy to understand solutions to make farmers’ lives easier, saving labour and costs. Find my Cow comes with a user-friendly cow locator device, which enables farmers to find cows in the shed and outside on pasture quickly. The installation is very easy, no need for extra beacons or calibrations and the module is backwards compatible to all CowManager’s operational systems.

When using the CowManager web application or mobile app, users can select the cow number(s) they want to find. The ear sensor will receive a signal that they have to present themselves to the cow locator. The locator can find cows up to 300-meter free line of sight. When walking into the shed or pasture, you will be guided via the easy to understand 7-coloured user interface. Red means that you are far away from the cow and the greener it gets, the closer you are. It also shows which employee found which cow at what time. The daily worklists available on the locator are easy to use.

Test Panel Highlights

Katie Falk from Southern Ridge Cow Palace in United States: “CowManager made my life unreal. Find my Cow is very easy to use. It made things so efficient to find out where your cow is instead of walking back and forth and looking at all your cow numbers. You hold it in your hand and it literally lights up. It helps saving labour and time and my employees love it!”

Dimitry Gruppen from Dittmannsdorfer Milch in Germany has also tested the extra functionality during its pilot phase. He says: “My experience is that it really saves me time I can now spend somewhere else at the farm. Find my Cow makes CowManager complete.”
