Asynchronous capture, processing, and adaptability of real-time feeder livestock ration weight information and transfer over wireless connection for mobile device, machine-to-machine supply chain control, and application processing

Abstract

A method and system is provided in a framework and workflow for assisting in livestock feeding operations by tracking and weighing ingredients from an electronic scale associated with feed mixing equipment. The framework and workflow captures, transfers, stores and processes parameters for cattle feeder ration weight data collection. The method and system include initializing a collection of weight data related to components of a feed ration for a mixing of feed for livestock, capturing a scale identifier from a scale interface on mixing equipment, and capturing weight information from the scale interface as the components of a feed ration are loaded into the mixing equipment. Such information is broadcasted over a wireless radio communication connection, such as via a Bluetooth® device, to a mobile application, and displayed during feed mixing operation.
