Empowering Ethiopia’s livestock industry with intelligent, traceable, and secure cattle tagging.
The SAVVY SmartTag system combines advanced NXP® NHS3152 Smart Sensor technology with modern software to revolutionize livestock health monitoring and traceability. Each animal is tagged with a durable, solar-assisted sensor that tracks temperature, movement, and health history in real time even offline.
Ethiopia is home to over 70 million cattle, forming the backbone of its agricultural economy. Yet, disease management, certification delays, and poor traceability continue to hinder exports.
The SAVVY SmartTag Project introduces a next-generation solution to close these gaps — offering continuous health tracking, secure data integrity, and faster certification workflows that bring Ethiopia closer to OIE-compliant export standards.
Continuous body temperature monitoring enables early detection of illness, reducing in-transit mortality by up to 75% and protecting livestock health.
AES-128 on-chip authentication creates tamper-proof, verifiable records with optional blockchain anchoring for unmatched data integrity.
Built for rural areas — all data is safely stored locally and automatically synced once connectivity is restored.
SmartTags last up to 7 years on a single battery, powered by integrated solar assist — ideal for long-term field performance.
Generate OIE-compliant export certificates in minutes instead of days, simplifying regulatory workflows and boosting exports.
Discover how the SAVVY SmartTag ecosystem connects every stage of livestock management — ensuring transparency, traceability, and trust from field to export.
Each animal receives a unique NXP NHS3152 SmartTag, initialized with its identity and ownership data — ensuring every livestock has a verified, traceable record.
Veterinarians use NFC-enabled Android apps to scan SmartTags, log temperature, and update health records in real time for proactive disease prevention.
Inspectors perform bulk UHF scans to monitor herd movement, detect missing tags, and flag anomalies or quarantines instantly at transport checkpoints.
Exporters access real-time dashboards with health reports, transit logs, and automatically generate OIE-compliant export certificates in minutes.
All SmartTag data is securely synchronized with a centralized backend, offering real-time analytics and traceability dashboards for complete supply-chain visibility.
Discover how the SAVVY SmartTag system improves livestock welfare, strengthens the economy, and enhances national transparency in animal management.
Non-invasive, continuous monitoring helps prevent disease outbreaks and promotes overall animal well-being across herds.
Verifiable health data enables farmers to access credit and insurance, turning livestock into digital financial assets.
Real-time dashboards connect farmers, veterinarians, and regulators for a fully traceable and trustworthy livestock supply chain.
Powered by NXP® NHS3152 smart sensors and a modern software stack (Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Android Studio), the SAVVY SmartTag ecosystem ensures security, reliability, and scalability. Each tag integrates temperature sensors, NFC & UHF communication, and AES-128 encryption for secure authentication — all managed through a robust, role-based platform.
The system is modular and ready to evolve — supporting GPS tracking, activity monitoring, and nationwide scalability via AWS or Azure.
Partnerships with the Ministry of Agriculture, ILRI, and CSA ensure long-term sustainability and widespread adoption.
Building on the SAVVY SmartTag ecosystem, these innovations expand the future of agriculture in Ethiopia — improving productivity, traceability, and sustainability across the sector.
