A New Technology for Farming Using iPhones RFID NFC Tags

The FeedIQ-system from Orkel is an integrated forage scanner for Farming using NFC RFID Tags which offer Farmers and other Agricultural users a system that will help produce high quality products e.g. milk at a low cost, offering a good RTI for it’s users using SIMPLY..... Their Phone,,,,, Android or Iphone.....

FeedIQ enables Orkel to scan the forage quality during baling. The sensor scans the forage 60 times a second during baling, and the results of the scans are sent to the machine control unit. The bale is then transported to the wrapping table, where it is weighed. This information is then sent to the control system. The machine adds a set number of layers of plastic film on the bale. After a set number of layers of film, the RFID-tagging process starts see the video here for bales being packaged ……

Right before the tag is placed onto the bale, it is read by the RFID reader/writer. The tag-id’s are also sent to the control unit. The baling process is finished with wrapping two or three layers of film on top of the RFID NFC-tag which adds protection. 

The information which is sent to the control unit is then combined and uploaded to Orkels cloud service by any 4G/Wifi or GPS-antenna. 

So, How Did AbleID Help Orkel.

Magnus Nordås Lervik who is a Project Engineer from Orkel first made contact with AbleID. 

Magnus wanted a RFID NFC tag with a protective layer to fit to Bales. After we worked through the project requirements and tested various samples the solution was found in the form of a low cost NFC sticker tag with Logo and Tag ID Numbers which could be attached to bales using a mechanical dispenser for automatic attachment. AbleID was able to provide RFID tags with a printed logo and TagID Numbers. 

Magnus also went onto purchase the RFID readers for use in the Mechanical Dispenser and now has a full working RFID solution.

The information which is sent to the control unit is then combined and uploaded to Orkels cloud service by any 4G/Wifi or GPS-antenna. 

The customer can then access the bale information by scanning the bale-tag using Orkels app on their Phone or other mobile Device, or type in the tag-number onto Orkels bale-database.

Orkel and TINE in Norway are working together to develop a way to predict the loss in forage quality over time. This will enable the customers to plan feeding of their cattle in a very detailed manner. The FeedIQ-system  will provide them with detailed information which includes precisely the quality of the feed and how much they have in stock. 

This will save time and money providing a stable milk-production, and the required amount of forage supplements, providing a significant amount of RTI back to customers which they will benefit through cost saving on their feed and quality of production providing a significant Return on Investment by using Orkels FeedIQ-system. 

Orkel and TINE are currently researching together to predict the amount of milk customers can expect from the forage of one bale of a given quality. This is what makes FeedIQ special.
