Tag-ie4
Tag-ie4 is the newest product in the Tag-ie range which has evolved from the Tag-ie2. This is designed as a low cost pocket sized reader with batching facilities, but still has a capacity of 4,000 tags, weight recording, and an animal history display. It has a truly direct sunlight visible black and white display with 7 lines of text. We haven't seen a screen that offers such amazing contrast in direct sun light. Tag-ie4 meets IP66 for water resistance, has a life time guarantee against water ingress. One button 'press to read' that automatically saves the tag number. A full numeric keypad provides simple and intuitive operation. Power comes from an rechargeable lithium battery for light weight and extended use. A battery charger is supplied. It is compatible with Tag-ie supplied thermal printers and can be connected to a PC via a USB cable (PC software required to read data). Bluetooth and Zigbee are also available at an additional cost. Tag-ie products are designed, manufactured & supported in the UK.

Tag-ie2
Tag-ie2 is a robust hand-held colour touch screen or keypad operated electronic animal ear tag reader, which can record up to 4,000 animals (plus 16,000 linked progeny tags) giving a total storage of 20,000 tags. Tag-ie2 has 4MB of memory, and can store 250 characters of notes and 500 characters of history on each of the 4,000 primary animals, plus numerous management tasks (e.g. weight, scan results, progeny, medication given). Using the Tag-ie data management software (included) you can upload the information onto your PC via the USB cable provided (Zigbee or Bluetooth also available), where you can save and arrange it to create the management and movement records you need. Information can be loaded back onto your handset from the PC to enable you to access animal history and update animal notes in the field, as well as mark specific animals for an audible alert for attention. Tag-ie2 can be switched between sheep and cattle terminology to cater for all EID requirements on the farm.
