AfiTags Malfunction Report

AfiCollar
AfiAct II

The data collected by the tags are crucial for identifying cows, and monitoring animal and herd behavior and health.

When tags malfunction it affects the data integrity and may impact on the users' ability to provide timely treatments.

The upper table in the report counts the faulty tag per day, and displays the type of faults detected, as follows:

Tags faults may result from short-range, long-range or measurement faults.

Column	Description
Faulty Tag	Displays the total number of faulty tags.
Not Read at All	Displays the number of tags not read by the long range (Reader), nor short range (parlor and sort) antennas. These tags may belong to culled cows, cows moved to the treatment area, or outside of the Reader's range. Tags removed from cows enter hibernation mode and are not necessarily faulty.
Not Read by Reader	Displays the number of tags not read by the Reader (long-range).
Not Read in Parlor	Displays the number of tags not read in the parlor or Sort (short range)
Measurement	Displays the number of tags where Rumination and Eating behavior measurements are incorrect, even though the ID functions.
