Read full descriptionHide full description
The EPIG® App aims at helping users of the EPIG® needlefree device improving their vaccination quality and -reporting. It collects several useful data such as: Number of vaccinated piglets, administered dose, administered injectable, injection compliance, animal group, etc. and uses this data for transparent reports on vaccination activity inside a swine farm, cloud based and exportable in PDF- or XLS-format. The App reads three different sensors inside the needlefree device for an on-demand self-diagnosis in case of unexpected problems. Furthermore, it gives you direct access to the User Manuals of the EPIG® device, FAQs, and a direct Service contact in case personal help is required. Finally, the App enables remote Software Updates for your device, keeping all functions up-to-date and allowing the introduction of new features.
