ANIMALS IDENTIFICATION
TRANSPONDER READING (OPTIONAL)
With the CONTROL PIG series weighing indicators it is possible to associate the weighs of each animal with a
unique identifier.
The identification of the animals through the use of Transponder (Optional) allows to keep the weight value under
control throughout the life of the animal, therefore to evaluate the daily weight variations.
To use the identification of the animals it is necessary to purchase the accessory (Optional) to read the
Transponders.
During weighing the weight of each animal will be associated with a number identified by the tag detected by the
transponder and made available:
➢via export to USB PenDrive in files in CSV format (Excel compatible)
➢to be sent in real time to a Remote Server (Send Remote) via WiFi connection (802.11) with WLAN PIG
(optional)
NOTE: to be sent in real time to a Remote Server (Send Remote) via WiFi connection (802.11) with WLAN PIG
(optional). For the menus, submenus and functions in which there are no differences in the setting and use of the
weighing computer, the explanation will be unique
