Applications of Virtual Fencing and Trackers
In the livestock industry, managing the grazing locations of animals like cattle and sheep while ensuring environmental sustainability is crucial for farmers. Traditional methods often involve erecting physical barriers such as wooden or electric shock fences, but these can be difficult to install over large areas and raise ethical concerns. Consequently, some farmers have adopted electronic fence systems, which alert them with a mild electric shock or warning message if animals attempt to leave the designated area. However, this approach adds to the labor and resource demands on farmers.
In recent years, virtual fence technology has gained popularity. These virtual fences are designed as animal necklaces or collars and can be monitored remotely by farmers via their smartphones. These devices are powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for battery replacements. When animals accidentally cross the boundary set by the virtual fence, the device emits a sound or plays music to remind them to return, effectively replacing physical barriers.
The application of virtual fence technology resembles that of trackers available on the market, which are increasingly employed to mitigate item loss. Piezo, a crucial component in daily life, has been utilized to minimize the risk of losing items and reduce electronic waste, thereby lessening environmental impact.
In these applications, most devices utilize a battery system for ease of wearing or carrying.
