On May 29, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement announced that it would fully start the work of implanting free electronic chips for dogs, requiring all dogs in Shenzhen to be injected with chips. By the end of this year, 100% of registered dogs will be injected with chips. If the dog is not injected with the electronic chip, it will be regarded as an unlicensed dog.
What is the role of IoT technology in pet management? Let's learn about it together!
1.Identity management
Although the electronic chip is small in size, it contains an internationally-used 16-bit unique code, which will always accompany the dog, which is equivalent to the dog’s electronic ID card, which can ensure the uniqueness of the dog. By implanting electronic chips into pets, applying for electronic ID cards for pets, recording pet information in the warehouse, and centralized management. Fundamentally solve the problem of difficult pet information collection and management.
There are many benefits of injecting chips into dogs. First of all, chips prove the uniqueness of dogs.
·Intelligent information management can be realized for pet medical treatment and vaccination status
· The dog is lost. After the law enforcement officer finds it, he will know the basic information by scanning it, and the owner can quickly retrieve the dog
· At the same time, urge the dog owners to do their responsibilities so that the dog can't escape after the accident.
2.Positioning management
Currently, the implanted electronic chips implemented in Shenzhen have no real-time positioning function. But for users who need it, if they want to locate their pets in real time and find it easy to find, they can buy a pet locator with a positioning chip.
The pet locator has a built-in terminal with GPS module and mobile communication module, which is used to transmit the positioning data obtained by the GPS module to a server on the Internet through the mobile communication module (gsm/gprs network), which can be implemented on a computer or mobile phone Query the terminal position on. In view of the frequent occurrence of pet loss incidents, the pet locator came into being and has its place in use.
3.Pet Network
Shenzhen free electronic chip implanted for dogs. The information that can be stored includes the dog’s birth, owner’s contact information, health records such as medical treatment, vaccination, etc. After the chip is implanted, the dog’s information will be uploaded to the back-end system for implementation. "Dog Networking" with traceable dogs.
In addition, pets, as human partners, have been added to the list of "devices" that need to be connected during the development of the Internet of Things that is promoted by business. E.g:
The "Pet Cube 2" device, which debuted at CES 2019, provides a matrixed distributed pet technology solution. As the second-generation product, a group of surveillance cameras is added when the owner is out, and it provides two-way audio and video interaction. The dog version also allows the owner to feed food remotely through the mobile phone, which has realized the interaction and rewards with the pet during the video communication process.
For owners who need to enhance the experience of playing with pets, "Pebby" is a good choice. This solution provides a pet game device based on a network connection. The host interacts with the pet through a toy ball that can be remotely controlled. Unlike ordinary pet toy balls, this solution integrates a high-resolution camera, a laser transmitter, and provides Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. The owner can control the pet ball at home anywhere in the world, stimulate the curiosity of the pet with a laser spot, and take clear pictures of the moment of play from the perspective of the ball. Many pet owners worry about not being able to accompany their pets when they work. Pebby also provides a variety of unmanned automatic play modes, so that pets will not feel alone at home.
Obesity is also a problem that everyone is concerned about. To lose weight for pets requires appropriate exercise methods plus regular time and physical input every day. "The Little Cat" provides a set of eager solutions. This solution provides a cat treadmill built with Internet of Things technology. The built-in laser transmitter stimulates the cat to climb above the treadmill and push the treadmill to rotate. The built-in algorithm can provide a set of fitness programs tailored for cats, and the cat can also exercise when the owner is out through mobile control.
As device manufacturers continue to listen and meet the needs of pet owners, the IoT pet wearable market will grow substantially. And the free implantation of electronic rfid tags for dogs in Shenzhen this time will inevitably bring a demonstration effect to other cities, and further promote the application of RFID and other IoT technologies in the field of pet management.
