Technology

A novel system, purpose-built for Australian properties.

A connected system of smart hardware and software. Tags identify and track, collars deliver live location and welfare, an onsite gateway keeps data flowing, and one platform brings it all together.

How it connects

Hardware in the paddock,
decisions in one platform.

Every device has a job. Together they turn animals into live, structured data that flows from the property to the cloud and back to your phone.

Ear tag

Identity

Unique ID broadcast for every animal.

GPS collar

Location & welfare

Live position and behaviour data.

Multi-dock

Charge & relay

Keeps collars powered onsite.

Gateway

Cellular uplink

Aggregates tag and collar data.

Cloud

WelfarmID platform

Processes positions, welfare and records.

Dashboard & app

Any phone, any browser

Live map, alerts and compliance records, wherever you are.

Cellular / cloud link BLE / on-property radio
Hardware

Built for heat,
dust and distance.

Australian properties span vast areas with patchy connectivity. Every device is selected and validated to perform across those conditions, on both sheep and cattle.

01

WelfarmID Ear Tag

Identity & asset tracking. A lightweight, individually numbered smart tag that gives every animal a permanent digital identity.

  • BLE-enabled, broadcasts a unique ID
  • Up to 8-year battery life
  • IP67 weatherproof, sealed against dust and water
02

GPS Collar Tracker

Live location & welfare. A rechargeable collar that delivers real-time position, activity and behaviour data from selected animals.

  • Real-time GPS positioning
  • Cellular and BLE communication
  • Activity and behaviour sensing for welfare alerts
03

Multi-Dock Charger

Onsite charging & gateway. A four-bay dock that charges collars and acts as the property's data gateway to the cloud.

  • Four-bay collar charging, simple daily swap
  • Cellular gateway aggregates tag and collar data
  • Mains and 12V power, wall or bench mount
Identity

A permanent digital identity that travels with every animal.

The platform

Everything in one place.

The dashboard and mobile app turn raw position and activity data into decisions, from the homestead, the ute or the saleyard.

01

Live interactive map

Every animal positioned in real time, with paddock and property boundaries overlaid.
02

Traffic-light welfare

Green, amber or red status against each animal so issues stand out at a glance.
03

Alerts & notifications

Boundary breaches, separations and welfare deviations push straight to your phone.
04

Compliance records

Movement and welfare history, structured and exportable, designed to support national traceability.
05

Movement documentation

Transport and movement records generated in a tap. No forms, no delays.
06

Works across devices

Use the dashboard from any phone or browser. No specialist hardware required.
Built and validated here

Engineered for Australian conditions.

Welfarm Technologies is running a research and development program to design, build and validate a novel integrated identification and welfare monitoring system for Australian environments, connectivity and traceability requirements. It sets out to resolve technical uncertainties that off-the-shelf products do not address, and the pilot is where the system is proven in the field.

Focus 01

Low-connectivity performance

Designed to keep working where mobile coverage is patchy, using on-property radio and store-and-forward data.

Focus 02

Heat & dust durability

Sealed, ruggedised hardware validated against the temperature, dust and range conditions of Australian properties.

Focus 03

Designed to support NLIS

Records structured to support national traceability. NLIS accreditation is a staged objective targeted for 2028.
