News wire · Source based brief

Researchers have successfully deployed a long-range, low-power LoRaWAN and RFID architecture to monitor high-resolution movement patterns in finishing pigs over 20-day cycles. This development provides a scalable technical framework for livestock producers to automate health monitoring and disease detection, reducing labor costs while improving animal welfare outcomes through data-driven intervention.

Roxtron manufacturing perspective

In regulated or measurement sensitive settings, define the tag's role before selecting its construction, then specify the item surface and reader environment. Roxtron Limited is an RFID and NFC product manufacturer with over two decades of experience, producing to agreed IC, construction, printing and encoding specifications for international customers. Approve samples on the actual package before ordering production quantities. A clearly defined specification and approved samples give procurement and engineering teams a consistent basis for production and repeat orders.
