Global certification success for Farmfit

We developed a Smart Herd Health Monitoring Solution for calves and cows, including internal devices and data collectors.


Farmfit - leading the world in animal health monitoring

Farmfit®, one of our most innovative clients, has developed a groundbreaking Smart Bolus that wirelessly monitors each animal in the herd. This solution brings individualised care to a large scale, revolutionizing livestock management while prioritizing animal welfare.
We are honoured to be their partner in this journey, collaborating to ensure their innovative products meet global certification standards and reach markets around the world.

Overcoming Unique Certification Challenges

One of the most significant challenges in certifying the Smart Bolus was its unique application—the device operates inside a cow’s stomach. Standard certification tests, particularly those for FCC and IC, could not accommodate the device’s intended environment. Simulating its performance in a live animal was impractical due to ethical and logistical constraints.
To overcome this, we worked with the client to identify the attenuation from inside the cow to free space and adhere to relevant regulations. We also developed and prepared cow body phantoms to enable accurate testing of the device’s performance. Our team worked closely with regulatory bodies, providing detailed documentation and demonstrations to gain their acceptance of the phantom as a valid testing method.
Through these efforts, we successfully gained the acceptance of both FCC and IC for our testing approach, facilitating global certifications and positioning the technology for market entry.
