Shearwell EID readers are fast and reliable; exactly what you need.
ISO-Compliant
All Shearwell Data readers are ISO-compliant. Choose from three categories of EID readers - basic handheld readers, readers with facilities to record additional information and panel readers fitted to weighing and drafting crates or race readers for high volume applications.
Connectivity
All our EID readers use Bluetooth technology to link wirelessly connecting to SDL stock recorders, weigh heads, mobile phones and mobile printers. Our panel readers can be supplied with twin antennas to ensure superior read rates, even when animals are moving at speed.
All Bases Covered
Our handheld tag readers range from basic readers to readers with advanced functionality, catering for all types of recording requirements - from simple movement recording to comprehensive management recording.
