Farmpro Inks MoU With Telenor To Resolve IoT Solution Local Application Issues

KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 (Bernama) -- Farmpro, an Internet of Things (IoT)-based stockbreeding solution startup, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the field of IoT with Telenor Connexion (Telenor), a world-leading mobile IoT company, in Singapore on June 12.

According to a statement, by working with Telenor, Farmpro can resolve IoT device communication issues that are caused by different telecommunication environments among countries when it enters overseas markets.

Farmpro Co-Chief Executive Officer, Park Byeong-ok said the company's solution has significantly reduced the mortality rate of calves, through which it is contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing misuse of antibiotics.

Farmpro developed a solution that attaches an electronic ear tag on livestock ears to manage livestock health. Using ear tags, Farmpro takes real-time measurements of livestock temperatures and activity levels then collects and analyses data.

Analysis results are used for early detection of livestock illness and infectious disease and management of pregnancy and birth.

Farmpro reduced the mortality rate of calves aged no more than six months to one-tenth of the previous figure by using ear tags and doubled the chances of conception of cows through an artificial insemination solution.

It also held an opening ceremony for its Singapore Corporation and declared the full launch of entry into global markets, including leading stockbreeding nations such as the Argentine Republic, Australia and New Zealand.

Farmpro’s advancement into Singapore was supported by ‘Global Big IN,’ a private-government cooperation governance programme supervised by Incheon Metropolitan City.
