Xsights Digital Pty Ltd is the 2022 WA Innovator of the Year Awards' Business News ‘Great for the State’ Platinum Award winner for their XIoT Health Tag for livestock health and welfare monitoring.
Xsights is developing the XIoT tag to collect real-time location and temperature data for monitoring and reporting on the health and welfare of livestock at scale. The XIoT Tag comprises of a 3 core silicon processor with integrated Bluetooth transmitter, and sensing, security, and processing units.
Livestock producers face significant productivity and economic challenges due to health and welfare requirements during various stages of growth. This is compounded by difficulties in the early detection of issues for farming large groups of livestock, with current approaches time-consuming and manually intensive.
Research has determined that early detection minimises the negative impact of disease, injury and equipment/ housing failures on the health, welfare, and productivity of individual and groups of livestock.
The Xsights IoT (XIoT) Tag is applied to the ear of each animal from birth to associate a unique ID with data continually logged and processed to maintain a health & welfare profile and lifetime provenance report for each individual animal.
The Western Australia Innovator of the Year program has showcased innovative and entrepreneurial individuals, businesses and creative minds since 2006.
