Pen-Side Arrival Logging

ArrivalXpert™ allows feed yard staff to record cattle arrivals directly at the pen using mobile devices or tablets. This real-time, on-site data entry improves efficiency and accuracy, eliminating the need to transcribe handwritten notes into the system later.

Source & Weight Capture

The system automatically captures essential data such as source information (e.g., origin ranch, transport details) and initial weight upon arrival. This data is vital for traceability, performance monitoring, and regulatory compliance.

Lot & Pen Auto-Mapping

ArrivalXpert™ features automated lot and pen assignment based on configurable rules and incoming data. This reduces manual errors and ensures cattle are allocated correctly for optimal management from the outset.

Offline Mode & Cloud Sync

For remote locations with intermittent connectivity, ArrivalXpert™ supports offline data entry, storing information locally and syncing with the cloud once connectivity is restored. This ensures uninterrupted operations and data integrity, even in challenging environments.

Multi-Yard Support

Managing multiple yards or ranch locations? ArrivalXpert scales seamlessly across sites, providing a centralized, synchronized data platform for complex operations.

Industry Context and Challenges

The cattle industry faces increasing pressures to improve traceability, comply with regulations, and meet growing consumer demands for transparency. According to the USDA, traceability gaps have led to costly disease outbreaks and market disruptions. Feed yards relying on manual onboarding processes risk falling behind due to:

• Data Inaccuracies: Handwritten records are prone to errors and omissions.
• Compliance Penalties: Non-compliance with animal traceability requirements can result in hefty fines or market restrictions.
• Operational Costs: Labor-intensive processes slow down operations and increase costs.

ArrivalXpert™ offers a proactive solution to these challenges, aligning with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Integration and Scalability

ArrivalXpert™ integrates seamlessly with the broader CattleXpert™ platform, including:

• VetXpert™: Instantly connect onboarding data with health and treatment records for proactive care.
• Feeding Modules: Use arrival weight and lot data to inform ration planning and feed allocation.
• Inventory Systems: Synchronize animal data with inventory and movement records for full traceability.

The system also integrates with RFID readers, electronic scales, and IoT devices, enabling automated data capture and reducing manual input errors. Customization options allow feed yards to configure workflows to match their specific operational needs.
