A Hybrid Ble-lf Tag for Extended-range Cattle Rfid

2025

Abstract

This work explores the integration into a semiactive RFID tag of a custom, ISO-compatible LF wake-up ASIC operating at 134.2 kHz with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement response strategy. This integration aims to extend the reading range, enhancing bulk RFID reading for highly efficient traceability and monitoring applications in the cattle industry and dairy farms. A holistic analysis was carried out to validate the design of the LF tag, and a measured reading distance of 14 x that of the state-of-the-art passive LF ISO11784/85 tags was achieved. The proposed tag is powered by a small coin cell battery and achieves a lifespan that exceeds that of dairy cattle, remaining low-power, robust and adhering to current standards.

Dairy cattle

Dairy cattle (also called dairy cows) are cattle bred for the ability to produce large quantities of milk, from which dairy products are made. Dairy cattle generally are of the species Bos taurus. Historically, little distinction was made between dairy cattle and beef cattle, with the same stock often being used for both meat and milk production. Today, the bovine industry is more specialized and most dairy cattle have been bred to produce large volumes of milk.

Dairy farming

Dairy farming is a class of agriculture for long-term production of milk, which is processed (either on the farm or at a dairy plant, either of which may be called a dairy) for eventual sale of a dairy product. Dairy farming has a history that goes back to the early Neolithic era, around the seventh millennium BC, in many regions of Europe and Africa. Before the 20th century, milking was done by hand on small farms.

Cattle

Cattle (Bos taurus) are large, domesticated, bovid ungulates. They are prominent modern members of the subfamily Bovinae and the most widespread species of the genus Bos. Mature female cattle are referred to as cows and mature male cattle are referred to as bulls. Colloquially, young female cattle (heifers), young male cattle (bullocks), and castrated male cattle (steers) are also referred to as "cows". Cattle are commonly raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal, see beef cattle), for milk (see dairy cattle), and for hides, which are used to make leather.
