A fully integrated solution

We have integrated our TrackLab software with the sophisticated hardware tracking devices of renowned manufacturers. This is a turnkey solution, meaning that the TrackLab system includes integration of all equipment, on-site installation, and training.

By combining the manufacturers’ experience in making accurate and reliable real time location systems with Noldus’ 30 years of experience in developing software tools for behavioral research, we have created a solution that offers accurate tracking and versatile software for analysis and real time feedback.

 
 


Indoor and outdoor tracking

TrackLab comes with a highly accurate Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tracking system for indoor tracking and short-range outdoor tracking, as well as a long-range GPS tracking solution for larger outdoor settings.

Indoor the system can be applied in settings ranging from a controlled laboratory (up to Biosafety Level 3) to a real-life barn environment. Outdoor the system can track animals in large pastures or feedlots.

 


Solutions for many animal species

Our system is ready to equip cattle, horses, and sheep. In addition, we provide tag solutions for different animal species. Please contact us if you want to track different animal types.

Central data storage

The way TrackLab functions remains the same whether you are tracking indoors or outdoors, and regardless of the animal species and type of tag you use.

TrackLab sends the track data from one or multiple recording sites to your private cloud for central data storage. The server then processes the data and calculates the statistics for you to assess. This way, you can gain insights from the comfort of your office!

 


Easy-to-use software

With TrackLab, you can easily set up and manage your projects. Navigate the software from setup to recording and analysis intuitively and quickly. Easily download your raw data or analyzed data for further statistics.

 


Schedule your recordings

Start recording a session manually, or plan ahead of time using a calendar-based scheduling tool. This tool allows you to record data only during periods of interest, such as during feeding times. This way, gathering data supports a focused and efficient setup - recording - analysis workflow.

 
 


Live monitoring

TrackLab allows for the real-time location monitoring of your animals. The software visualizes the behavior of the animal, so you can immediately locate an animal or see that all animals are still active in the tracking location.



 


Battery status indication tags

The live view shows you the battery status enabling you to recharge the tags when necessary.
