TagTracker2™

TagTracker2™ is a rugged hand-held wireless RFID reader that can withstand the rigors of field use. It's tough casing can withstand repeated blows and drops - even being run over by a pick-up truck. The reader includes International Standards Organization (ISO)-compliant RFID electronics as well as wireless (no cables) communications. The TagTracker™ reader reads an RFID tag and communicates with a base station connected to a PC computer that can sit over 100 feet away.

BT3™

BT3 is the lastest addition to the TagTracker product line. The BT3 Wireless RFID Tag Reader is an robust device that reads RFID (radio frequency identification) tags and communicates the tag number, wirelessly, back to a host device such as a computer or PDA. This means you’re no longer “tethered” to your computer — you can move about and scan items at will, sending the ID’s to the computer, wirelessly. And, if you’re using the BT3 with a PDA, you can keep the rugged reader separate from the less-rugged hand-held PDA.

BT3’s RFID reader is ISO (International Standards Organization) 11785-compliant and is capable of reading all ISO 11784 RFID tags, including both full duplex (FDX) and half duplex (HDX) tag versions.

The BT3 reader reads an RFID eartag to identify the animal. A workcard with embedded RFID transponders can also be associated with various events. TagTracker™ is used to scan the workcard to record these pre–programmed events. These workcards enable chute side data collection without having to use the keyboard. Feedback to the user comes via an audio response.
