Custom numbering
Some management systems work with their own numbering ranges and will not accept a generic tag. We manufacture the tag with the numbering your system requires.
Equipment for feed automation and ration delivery
We design the on-board computer and manufacture the tags and cables that make feed automation work in the field — plus we supply the scales and accessories that complete the system.
In-house design
BULLTECN on-board computer
The unit that rides on the mixer, takes the weight from the scale and talks to the feedlot management system.
It works with the software your feedlot already runs
The computer is compatible with the main feedlot management systems used in Brazil. Installing or replacing the equipment does not force the operation to change software.
The hardware adapts to the system, not the other way around.
| IP68 rated | Sealed against water and dust. Handles washdown and the constant dust of the pen. |
|---|---|
| Fanless | Passive cooling. With no forced ventilation there is no path for dust to get in — the main failure point of a standard computer in a feedlot. |
| Aluminum housing | High-density aluminum that dissipates processor heat and stands up to mixer vibration. |
| 10.4" capacitive display | Large enough for the operator to read from the cab, with capacitive touch. |
| Long-range Wi-Fi | 2.4 and 5 GHz with external antenna — built for the distance between the mixer and the farm's network point. |
The durability proof that matters: the 2018 unit is still running.
The computer we designed in 2018 went into service that year and is still in production today — eight years in the same feedlot, the same dust and the same vibration.
Integration
Ports are configured to match your system
This is usually what decides the purchase — and where most integration problems start.
Every management system talks to the scale, the RFID antenna and the LED panel differently. Some do it all over serial cable. Others handle the same communication wirelessly. If the computer does not have the right port, the integration will not close — and the problem only shows up once the equipment is already mounted on the mixer.
That is why the unit ships configured for the operation's system, with ports defined at the project stage:
- Serial ports for cable communication with the scale and RFID antenna
- USB ports for peripherals and maintenance
- Bluetooth for wireless communication with scale, RFID and LED panel
- Wi-Fi on 2.4 and 5 GHz, with external antenna for extra range
An operation running the FarmTell platform by dsm-firmenich uses both serial ports: one for cable communication with the scale, the other for the RFID antenna. Other operations handle that same communication wirelessly. Two different hardware builds for the same goal — settling it up front avoids rework later.
In-house manufacturing
RFID tags and antennas
Electronic identification made to order, including specific numbering.
RFID reading antennas
They pick up animal identification on the pass and feed individual data into the system — the basis for traceability and per-animal performance tracking.
In-house manufacturing
Communication and power cables
A broken cable stops the operation. And the wrong cable produces exactly the same symptom as a drifting scale — except no calibration will fix it.
External LED panel cable
Links the external LED panel to the system so the operator can read the weight from outside the cab during loading.
RFID antenna cable
Connects the reading antenna to the animal identification system.
Alfa scale cable
Specific cable for the Alfa Instrumentos indicators used in feedlots.
Power supply cable
Power for the on-board equipment, sized for the vibration and impact of daily mixer use.
We manufacture cables for the equipment we work with. If yours is not on the list, message us on WhatsApp — we will check whether we can cover your case.

Compatibility
Built to fit what is already in the feedlot
Our place is the physical layer. It has to work with the mixer you have and the software you already run.
✓
Compatible with the main management systems
The feedlot does not have to change software to use our equipment.
✓
TMR mixers and stationary mixers
We work with the equipment regardless of the manufacturer — towed mixer or fixed mixer at the feed mill.
✓
Own line, made to order
On-board computer of our own design, custom-numbered tags and cables manufactured by us.
✓
IP68-rated equipment
Industrial protection against water and dust, with an aluminum finish — built for feedlot routine.
