NKTEK

Seven vital metrics. One precision ear tag.

Stop guessing based on movement alone. HerdTek captures continuous heart rate, HRV, and blood oxygen directly from the ear. Unmatched health intelligence that delivers early alerts, empowering you to intervene promptly and protect your herd.

Precision optical sensing

The smartwatch for dairy cows

Visual symptoms mean the damage is done. By monitoring continuous heart rate and HRV data, our constantly evolving AI exposes hidden stress and health anomalies days before a human eye can detect them.

Beyond basic movement

Comprehensive health metrics

Tracking just movement or isolated temperature spikes only tells half the story. By analyzing a full spectrum of vital parameters simultaneously, HerdTek delivers a complete health profile that precisely reflects the true condition of your herd.

Our precision optical sensor tracks the heartbeat directly at the ear. This delivers immediate, uncompromised visibility into acute physical stress or underlying inflammation the very moment it begins.

Tracks the micro variations between individual heartbeats. HRV is the most precise early indicator for hidden stress, pain, and developing illness on the farm floor.

Monitors the oxygen saturation in the blood. A sudden drop gives you a clear early alert for emerging respiratory diseases, acute stress, or cardiovascular problems.

Captures exact breaths per minute. This is an essential metric for directly measuring conditions like summer heat stress on the farm floor.

Dual infrared sensors monitor both the inner ear and external skin simultaneously. The tag automatically filters out environmental factors like cold ambient temperatures and direct sunlight to reliably identify actual fever.

The motion sensor tracks movement continuously. An integrated AI model processes these patterns directly on the ear tag to precisely identify whether a cow is walking, standing, or lying down.

The ear tag automatically tracks exactly when and how long a cow eats or ruminates. As the primary indicator of healthy digestion, this metric provides an immediate early alert the moment an animal shows a drop in feed intake.

Engineered for extremes. Unmatched durability.

Surviving everyday farm life requires zero compromise. Every tag is fully sealed against water and dust, built exclusively to take the heaviest physical impacts your daily routine can deliver.

Analytics directly on the tag

Our onboard AI processes movement patterns directly on the tag to recognize standing, lying, walking, eating, and ruminating. Running these calculations locally enables instant behavior tracking, long before the data ever moves to the cloud.

Explore HerdTek AI

30 days of onboard storage

Is the herd out on pasture beyond base station coverage? No problem. The tag stores all vital signs and activity data locally for up to 30 days, syncing automatically as soon as livestock come back in range.

Explore wireless connectivity

Up to 5 years of battery life

Continuous sensor measurement and local AI processing run for up to 5 full years on a single internal battery. Smart standby engineering ensures virtually zero power draw on the shelf, keeping devices factory fresh until you activate them.

Software evolves. Tags stay on.

Your hardware stays put while the intelligence inside keeps growing. New AI models and tag firmware push wirelessly over the air, delivering upgraded analytics without ever handling an animal or touching a device.

From raw data to daily action

Our ear tag collects raw health metrics directly on the device. The platform converts that entire dataset into an organized work plan for your operation.

Shape the future of dairy farming with us.

Ahead of our 2027 market launch, we are partnering with progressive dairy farms for our final pilot phase. Your field feedback will directly shape a system built with zero compromise for daily farm operations.
