NKTEK

HerdTek base station

The central data hub for your entire operation. Engineered for indoor or outdoor mounting, it collects ear tag analytics while monitoring local climate metrics, syncing independently over cellular. Zero farm wifi and zero network cables required.

Just plug it in. We handle the rest.

Farm hardware should be effortless. Pick a location, mount the device, and connect power. The base station runs continuously in the background, automatically linking ear tags to the cloud with zero setup or maintenance required.

Under the hood

From buffering data during cellular dropouts to logging climate trends and receiving over the air software updates, the base station operates as a fully autonomous data hub for your farm.

The onboard cellular radio automatically routes data over the strongest local LTE-M or NB-IoT connection, bypassing farm wifi infrastructure.

Onboard environmental sensors track real time temperature and humidity trends continuously alongside incoming ear tag metrics.

Internal memory holds up to 30 days of herd metrics during signal drops, automatically resuming cloud sync the moment connection returns.

New capabilities and performance upgrades deploy silently in the background over the air, keeping your base station up to date with zero manual effort.

Built for daily farm operations

No extra hardware to buy or mount. The base station features built in climate sensors that track ambient air quality alongside herd telemetry, giving you environmental insights that directly protect animal health and milk yield.

Stay ahead of heat stress

Local climate metrics

General weather forecasts fail to capture actual barn conditions. Built in sensors track temperature and humidity right where your herd feeds and rests, providing true microclimate insights.

Heat stress warning

High humidity triggers heat stress at just 20°C. Onboard processing calculates live THI metrics automatically, sending early warnings so you can start cooling systems before production takes a hit.

Scalable by design

Wireless signal range varies based on building architecture. Heavy concrete, steel framing, and complex barn layouts absorb or block RF signals. Expanding your coverage area is as simple as plugging in an extra station.

One unified network

Multiple base stations expand coverage across your facility without signal interference. They work together seamlessly as one unified system across your entire operation.

Seamless tag roaming

Ear tags hand off seamlessly between base stations, automatically routing data to whichever unit delivers the strongest signal as cattle move throughout your facility.

Zero setup required

An additional station requires only a standard wall outlet. There are zero network settings to configure. Plug it in and the platform detects the hardware automatically.

Locate Animals Instantly

Searching for cows burns valuable time. Our base stations provide reliable zone based tracking right now, showing you exactly where an animal is located. The built in hardware is also fully equipped for future meter accurate navigation inside the barn.
