Cattle Observer - Development of an animal monitoring system for dairy cows

The aim of the project was to develop a system (hardware, software, communication interfaces and antennas) for animal monitoring on dairy cows. For the Center for Microtechnologies, the main focus was on system integration and packaging and thus on the encapsulation or housing of the electronics and the implementation of the antenna directly into the housing using 3D-capable additive manufacturing processes.Read more
