Collars, tags, gateways, and data tools for cattle monitoring
Cattle monitoring built as a complete field-to-data ecosystem
Tauro combines the research collar, CERES ear tags, BLE-LTE gateways, dashboard visibility, and export tooling into one monitoring system for long-term cattle studies.
Use the full ecosystem to collect behaviour, movement, grazing, and device-health data over months, monitor deployments remotely, and move from field collection into analysis without proprietary lock-in.
GNSS sampling
1Hz
Continuous location data for movement, grazing, and study visibility.
Inertial sensing
60Hz
High-resolution accelerometer and gyroscope data for behaviour analysis.
Field deployment
Months+
Built for long collection windows with remote monitoring in the loop.
A connected monitoring system for cattle research and operations
Built to flow from deployment through to analysis
Deploy the right device mix
Configure collars, tags, and gateways for the study rather than forcing every project into the same hardware-only model.
Monitor collection remotely
Use the dashboard and gateway pathway to keep tabs on health, location, diagnostics, and incoming data while the trial is live.
Export usable datasets
Pull logged SD data, decode it with supplied tooling, and move from field collection into analysis without proprietary lock-in.
Each part of the ecosystem has a clear role
Tauro Collar
Research-grade sensing on the animal
The Tauro Research Collar is the high-resolution core of the system, designed for long-window animal studies where location, motion, and deployment durability all matter.
Highly accurate 1Hz GNSS geo-location monitoring
60Hz inertial sensing with accelerometer and gyroscope data
Remote configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates
Long lasting battery with trickle charging from integrated solar panels
SD card logging for raw data capture and later export
CERES Tags
Tag-based monitoring and paired data capture
CERES tags complement the collar and broaden the system into a more flexible cattle monitoring platform, including lower-cost starter deployments and raw-data collection workflows.
6-hourly GPS and grazing-oriented ear tag options
Pairing with CERES RANCHER for raw data transmission and new algorithm development
Pasture feed intake and behaviour-related workflows already reflected in pricing
Gateway-assisted collection path for logged raw tag data
Starter-kit friendly entry point for evaluation programs
Gateway
The outdoor bridge between field devices and cloud visibility
The BLE-LTE gateway turns the device set into an operational ecosystem by coordinating field collection, cloud upload, and remote device support.
BLE-LTE gateway for field connectivity
Automatic downloading of logged CERES RANCHER raw data
OTA updates to ear tags
Solar panel accessory and waterproof outdoor operation
Dashboard-visible device data through a single monitoring path
Visibility during collection, export when the study is done
Dashboard view
Monitor active deployments while devices remain in the field
Data access model
Remote visibility and open export built into the platform
Use the dashboard to monitor active deployments and the export tooling to move logged data into downstream analysis without added decoder lock-in.
Monitor collar, gateway, and study status remotely
Access device diagnostics and deployment visibility during collection
Export logged SD data and convert records into CSV with supplied tooling
Use the open-source decoder rather than paying ongoing decoder fees
Keep dashboard and data access aligned with field collection, not as separate tools
