N2 - It is evident that for sustained production and enhanced efficiencies in the Agriculture and Food industries, continued development of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) techniques will need to adapt to meet current technological and new-era wireless technology that is revolutionizing the way we live. Two key systems have been developed for the poultry industry, BOSCA and CyberBar. The focus of BOSCA is on real-time product visibility thus ensuring quality and integrity, empowering all stakeholders with decision support functionality. CyberBar is a track and trace system delivering a real time biological unit-level identification and traceability platform. It is based on three fundamental areas, individually tracked agri-food products coupled with remote environmental monitoring and diagnostic capability combined under cloud computing architecture made available to all stakeholders across the full supply network via modern telemetric smartphone delivery. Both systems are designed to provide real-time data which can be mapped against industry key performance indicators (KPI's), facilitating increased operational efficiency performance and improved food quality and safety. Both, truly unique systems will confer market advantage on the Irish food industry by enabling verifiable traceability in real time extending right down to the consumer level.
