Smart tag tracking for livestock farming

The problem of the outdoor farming of livestock are losing of the livestock or be stolen. Owing to such problem, we hereby study, research and develop a Smart Tag for livestock farming or STLiF. In this research, there are three processes: system design, implementation of STLiF, and testing. In the first step, we design the Smart Tag by assembling IoT (Internet of Thing) devices (GPS, 3G, and Arduino) within the livestock Tag. The GPS Module receive a value of a position from the nearest satellites. The 3G Module & SIM are used for sending data to Database Server by 3G signal. The Arduino Microcontroller board are used as a controller. Then an applications on smartphone gets the data from Database Server, analyzes and indicates results. Our application can track the latest position of Livestock, show its position with Smart Tag's position, history of its movement in specific period, and then warn us when it gets out of the allowed area. The values mentioned in this research comprise latitude, longitude, date time, and the ID of Smart Tag. Finally we evaluate the Smart Tag by to testing with goat at a farm in order to make sure that Smart Tag work properly.
