BOARDMAN, Oregon, July 2008 -- Jose Ruiz, Manager Dairy Calf Facilities, Six Mile Dairy, author. "I will try to explain how ARCHER changed my life in a week: We process lots of information as we are one of the biggest dairy calf farms in the world, processing almost 30,000 calves per year. We scan an average of 700 hundred head (calves) weekly in different areas; events like weaning, shipping, tagging and dead calves are part of our everyday scanning with EID. The year before I got ARCHER, I broke 5 laptops, all kinds of them.
Very many times I ran out of battery, I had to charge my laptop every day. Many other days it was raining, snowing, dusty or even sunny and I could not accomplish my tasks. Laptops displays are also impossible to see under full sun. With the ARCHER you can see it always!
Lots of wires was part of my life, the pain on my arm because the weight of the laptop. It is not the same to carry your laptop from your car to your office as it is to carry it two hours with one arm, broken antennas, missed parts….. I won't be done today telling you issues I had.
I won't forget the day that Fort Supply Technologies came to my facility (June 12, 2007), Malcolm Harvey the president in person came to visit us.
He was explaining about ARCHER and the software and suddenly he threw the unit to the floor! I am still using the same unit and I have already dropped it another hundred times. I can tell you; “ARCHER is nearly indestructible”!
The winter came and I was scanning calves under plenty of snow. When the display gets dusty, I just wash it. Raining? No problem I can use it,…….now that is the problem, I don't have any excuses for not working (just kidding).
I don't have to use my old dead calves book anymore for record keeping. With ARCHER and FaST EID, can keep all my data together. Inventory? The excel mobile contained in the ARCHER allows you to do anything you want. Connectivity? Build on blue tooth connection makes your work comfortable without wires bugging you, just one tap and your scanner is connected ready to work in a free way.
The FaST EID software is easy to use and safe; there is no risk of lost data at all.
In summary, I personally highly recommend in this busy world full of trouble to make our life easier getting ARCHER and FaST EID software from our FORT SUPPLY TECHNOLOGIES friends."
