In episode 33, Ian and Frankie talk with Dr. Brad White, from Precision Animal Solutions to discuss their project with Eseye to create an IoT device to monitor cattle behaviour and identify early signs of respiratory disease. The solution involves using ear tags with embedded electronics to collect data on activity, social behaviour, and areas of interest.
