Sensing Infrastructure
Purpose-built hardware designed and manufactured in-house. Every device is engineered for multi-year field deployment, extreme weather resistance, and seamless integration with the Herdwize platform.
Herdwize hardware is not a standalone product — it is the sensing layer of an integrated intelligence platform. Each device feeds data into the same AI engine, the same analytics dashboard, and the same alert system.
