RFID + GSM/4G Solar Livestock Tracking System Setup for Farm
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Project Brief: Remote Livestock Management System Using RFID + Solar + GSM/4G
Objective
I am looking for a professional to advise, design, and help set up a solar-powered RFID livestock management system for use on a farm. The system should be able to track animals via RFID tags and remotely transmit data over GSM/4G to a cloud database or Google Sheets for monitoring and analysis.
Requirements
RFID Tags & Readers
Recommendation of suitable RFID ear tags for livestock (durable, weatherproof).
Advice on long-range or gate-based RFID readers that can scan animals as they pass.
Remote Connectivity
RFID reader must send data remotely via GSM/4G SIM card.
Integration with Google Sheets, cloud database, or custom dashboard for real-time access.
Solar Power
System must run independently on solar power (with panel + battery setup).
Low power consumption design.
Software & Data Management
Simple interface to log animal presence, ID, or movement.
Preferably compatible with Google Sheets API or custom mobile/web app.
Ability to expand later with features such as alerts, health logs, and feeding schedules.
Implementation Support
Help in selecting reliable suppliers for hardware (RFID readers, GSM modules, solar kit).
Remote guidance on installation and testing.
Optional: custom application development in future phases.
Deliverables
Consultancy on best hardware + software setup.
System design (block diagram + wiring + setup instructions).
Support in configuring the system to capture RFID tag data and send it remotely.
Documentation for maintenance and scalability.
Skills Required
RFID hardware & livestock tracking experience.
IoT and remote data transmission (GSM/4G).
Solar power system design for IoT devices.
Google Sheets API / IoT cloud integration.
Strong documentation & communication.
Project Location
Farm in Kenya (East Africa)
