Read full description

The ST BLE Sensor Classic application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. Cloud side, ST BLE Sensor can communicate with Microsoft Azure IoT Central, Aws IoT and ST Asset Tracking dashboard. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics

PAPPSTOR: Innovation of virtual fences in Extensive Livestock Farming Description: Pappstor is a revolutionary application designed to transform grazing livestock management through advanced virtual fencing technology. By integrating GPS-equipped smart collars, Pappstor allows ranchers to geolocate and guide their livestock efficiently and sustainably. This solution not only improves animal productivity and well-being, but also promotes environmental sustainability. Main Features: - Virtual Fencing: Smart collars that create virtual grazing areas, emitting auditory and sensory stimuli to keep livestock within the areas designated by the app - Solar Energy: Collars with solar panels that offer autonomy of up to one year, ensuring a sustainable and autonomous system. - Intuitive Interface: Easy-to-use application that allows farmers to create and modify virtual pastures with just two clicks, accessible from mobile devices, tablets and computers. - High Precision GPS: Precise location of livestock with a margin of error of +/- 3 meters, facilitating exact management in real time. - Fire Prevention: Controlled grazing helps maintain vegetation at optimal levels, reducing the risk of forest fires. - Animal Welfare: Gentle stimuli and prioritization of livestock comfort ensure respectful and considerate management. - Data Analysis: Sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms that continuously monitor, analyze and optimize livestock behavior. - Advanced Traceability: Detailed and transparent record of each specimen, providing added value to the final consumer. How It Works: Pappstor uses a LORA communication network and technologically advanced collars that are placed on cattle. These devices allow farmers to manage grazing remotely and efficiently, creating a more sustainable and autonomous environment. If cattle approach the established boundaries, the collars emit a warning melody and, if necessary, a gentle sensory stimulus to guide them back to the designated area. Advantages: - Soil Sustainability: Prevention of erosion and maintenance of soil nutrient richness. - Operational Efficiency: Optimization of natural resources and cost reduction. - Land Recovery: Improvement of degraded areas and revitalization of the ecosystem. - Continuous Assistance: Immediate technical support and quality guarantees against manufacturing defects. With Pappstor, livestock tradition meets technology, offering an innovative solution that transforms extensive livestock farming into a more efficient, sustainable and advanced practice. Download PAPPSTOR and take your livestock management to the next level.
