Smart Cattle Management via RFID and Mobile App
Requirement:
Efficiently tracking livestock and recording their health and identification data in rural or farm environments presents several challenges. A leading agritech client approached us to develop a robust and user-friendly system to:
- Record cattle data directly in the field
- Identify cattle using RFID-based EID tags
- Classify cattle based on tag color (e.g., health status or breed)
- Send real-time alerts and updates to users
- Ensure offline functionality with smooth Bluetooth communication
The client’s existing process was manual and error-prone, causing delays and inconsistencies in cattle data recording.
Solution
To meet the client’s requirements, we designed and developed a cross-platform mobile application using Flutter. The app seamlessly integrates with an RFID reader via Bluetooth Classic to retrieve Electronic Identification (EID) numbers from RFID tags attached to the cattle.
Key features include:
- Bluetooth Classic integration for stable communication with the RFID reader
- Tag colour classification to help users instantly identify categories of cattle (e.g., sick, vaccinated, new entry)
- Real-time alerts and push notifications for critical conditions or classifications
- Simple and intuitive UI, even for field users with minimal technical knowledge
- Offline functionality, ensuring uninterrupted operation in remote farm areas
By digitising and automating the cattle tracking process, the solution helped the client take a major step toward smart farm management.
