Faster, smarter data is WiFi -ready

Written by 

GALLAGHER SAYS its new TSi 2 Livestock Manager is faster and smarter than its ground-breaking SmartTsi launched in 2008.

 

The only touchscreen-operated integrated weighscale, computer and animal management system on the market, the TSi 2 Livestock Manager has a processor twice as fast as the previous unit.

Product manager Dan Loughnane says the company talked at length to farmers in developing the TSi 2. “It has much more memory and power and this means it can quickly store, analyse and transfer animal data in the yards.”  

It also locks in animal weights much more quickly during weighing sessions.

 “For example, the new fast weigh feature is designed specifically for weighing sheep and enables weights to be locked in 2.7 times faster than in standard mode. This allows big increases in stock throughput.” 

Another key improvement in the TSi 2 is  WiFi connectivity, allowing animal data to be immediately transferred to the web. “This is ideal for farmers who want to quickly send information directly to third parties such as NAIT.”  

Higher processing speed and memory make it easy for farmers to find information quickly and with minimal fuss. 

The TSi 2 can store at least one million animal records, allowing the entire life history of animals to be saved for on-farm viewing. 

It is supplied with Gallagher’s Animal Performance Software (APS Professional valued at $1378 inc GST).

Like the SmartTSi, the TSi 2 is ruggedly constructed. It can be integrated with loadbars, EID readers, auto drafters and other management software.  It has an outdoor-readable touchscreen with large buttons and an intuitive user-interface.

Gallagher marketing manager Mark Harris says the TSi 2 helps farmers take the guesswork out of major farm policy decisions.  “It’s a simple way to comprehensively monitor animal performance under different feeding and treatment regimes.”
