Product Overview
The ISO 11784 RFID Temperature Tag is a revolutionary, bioglass-encapsulated microchip designed for advanced animal identification and health monitoring. This passive RFID device combines the global identification standard of ISO 11784/11785 with integrated temperature sensing, providing a critical tool for veterinarians, livestock managers, and pet owners. Operating at 134.2 kHz using FDX-B technology, this tiny (1.4×8.5mm) implantable tag transmits both a unique identification number (UID) and real-time body temperature data when scanned with a compatible reader. It solves the problem of manual, stressful temperature checks by enabling quick, non-invasive monitoring, making it essential for proactive animal healthcare, breeding management, and disease prevention.
Key Features and Benefits
- Dual-Function Technology: Provides permanent, unique identification alongside accurate temperature readings in a single scan.
- Global Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B standards, ensuring worldwide recognition and compatibility with existing animal ID systems.
- Passive and Maintenance-Free: Requires no internal battery; powered entirely by the reader’s signal for a lifelong operational lifespan once implanted.
- Biocompatible and Safe: Encased in a bioglass material that is hypoallergenic and designed for safe, long-term implantation in animals.
- Miniaturized Design: Ultra-compact size (1.4×8.5mm) allows for minimally invasive implantation with quick healing.
How the ISO 11784 RFID Temperature Tag Works
This microchip operates on a simple yet sophisticated principle:
- Passive Activation: When a compatible ISO 11785 FDX-B reader (134.2 kHz) is brought near the animal, its radio wave signal powers the microchip.
- Data Collection and Transmission: The activated chip’s integrated sensor measures the ambient (body) temperature. The chip then modulates the reader’s signal to transmit two key data packets back: its unique 15-digit ID number (structured per ISO 11784) and the current temperature reading.
- Information Display: The reader decodes this signal, displaying the animal’s ID and temperature instantly on its screen, enabling immediate assessment.
Primary Applications
This product is engineered for scenarios where identification and health metrics are vital:
- Livestock Health Monitoring: Early detection of fever in cattle, swine, or sheep for herd health management and illness outbreak prevention.
- Pet Healthcare: Allows veterinarians and owners to easily monitor a pet’s temperature during exams or when illness is suspected, reducing stress.
- Breeding and Reproduction Management: Monitoring temperature trends in breeding animals for optimal insemination timing.
- Research and Laboratory Animal Monitoring: Provides a reliable method for tracking individual animals and collecting physiological data in studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RFID temperature sensor tag?
It is a passive RFID device that can transmit both a unique identification code and real-time temperature data from an animal when scanned by a compatible reader. Our product is a microchip implant that complies with the global ISO 11784/11785 standard.
Can RFID tags really measure temperature?
Yes. While standard RFID tags only transmit an ID, specialized tags like our ISO 11784 Temperature Tag integrate a micro-sensor that measures the ambient temperature at the implant site, transmitting this data alongside the ID.
How does the temperature microchip work?
The microchip contains both RFID circuitry and a temperature sensor. When activated by a reader’s 134.2 kHz signal, the sensor takes a measurement. The chip then sends this temperature data and its pre-programmed Unique Identification Number (UID) back to the reader using the FDX-B protocol.
Is the implantation procedure safe?
Yes. The microchip is encased in biocompatible bioglass, similar to standard pet microchips. It is implanted with a sterile applicator, a quick and minimally invasive procedure typically performed by a veterinarian.
