Monitoring Livestock: Wevo Products Protect Sensitive Components
Smart technologies for monitoring livestock enable the early detection of diseases, increase animal well-being and also help to reduce costs and labor. This is achieved through the greater use of sensors, RFID chips, microphones, and cameras. However, in some instances, the devices are subjected to extremely varying conditions, environments, and mechanical abuse – especially when attached directly to livestock. In order to ensure a long service life, Wevo offers tailor-made potting and encapsulation materials for the growing global market of intelligent monitoring solutions to reliably protect sensitive electric and electronic components.
Whether it's movement and activity, eating habits, body temperature, or stress levels – through modern technologies within the farming sector, it's possible to monitor livestock 24/7. This ensures and optimizes productivity, product quality, fertility management, nutrition and feed, animal identification, and catering to the animals' health and general well-being. As a less invasive method, more and more wearable devices are being brought to the market – among these, for example, are so-called e-tags and smart tags.
Being attached directly to the livestock, these wearable applications pose extreme challenges to the materials used, as they are exposed to changing climate, surface and ground conditions – hot or cold, wet or dry, or soiled stable surroundings. Resistance to liquid manure and animal waste is an important factor, as is resistance to disinfectants and other chemicals. In addition, there is extremely mechanical and potential physical abuse caused by an animal that can weigh in excess of 500kg. With individually adapted products based on polyurethane, Wevo offers solutions for the protection of electric and electronic components while withstanding harsh environmental conditions in livestock operations.
WEVO MATERIALS BASED ON POLYURETHANE FOR THE USE IN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS
The potting and encapsulation materials, combined with excellent chemical resistance, seal the electronics and minimize moisture ingress. The superior adhesion to most substrates ensures secure mechanical and structural integrity, preventing premature field failures due to fractures or periods of immersion. In addition, Wevo's polyurethane materials are available in a wide range of elastomer properties, from soft to hard. This accommodates potting and encapsulation of delicate components, like accelerometers, antennas, and batteries, and provides dampening and vibration protection during operation, whether dynamic or static.
Wevo's products for the farming and agricultural sector may be found in ventilators and fans, air flow sensors, dielectric soil moisture sensors, electrochemical sensors, location sensors, optical sensors, wireless beacons, and within the whole wireless sensor network. For irrigation and water management, our materials may also be found in devices such as control panels, filters, flow meters, pumps, and sensors, including WRAS-approved material for drinking water and food production. Wevo's products can be employed for numerous applications in agricultural and horticulture lighting, including in the field of indoor vertical farming and modern greenhouses.
