e-gate

Smart Remote Gate Release System

Open from anywhere at anytime

With the ability to save every dairy farmer in the county between 200 – 300 hours of labour annually. e-gate goes far beyond being just a gate opening device, with the ability of the e-gate to be controlled and monitored from anywhere in the world via the e-gate Smart Phone app. This has proved to be invaluable to farmers.

Utilising proven technology the e-gate reads a range of environmental and device factors including the fence strength in kV’s, if the gate is open or closed, the devices location, temperature and rainfall reporting it back to the farmers phone in real-time. Informing the farmer of what’s happening on the ground, allowing them to set parameters that will automatically open the gate or help them to make an informed decision on whether to let cow in or not themselves.

Gate Opening Options

e-gate offers multiple convenient opening options for gate management:

Open Now: With a simple push of a button, you can open your gate from anywhere in the world via our smartphone app. This instant control ensures flexibility and quick reaction on farm.
Timer: Set a timer (e.g., 3 hours in spring for on-off grazing) to automate gate operations according to your grazing plan. Saving you time and effort while also reduce the chance to cause poaching.
Set Alarm: Schedule future gate openings similar to setting an alarm on your phone. This feature is perfect for planned grazing or allowing buffer feeding.
Rain Sensor: e-gate can automatically open after detecting a preset amount of rainfall, protecting your paddocks from poaching damage in wet conditions.

Labour And Livestock Benefits

e-gate dramatically cuts down the time spent herding cows to the yard. With an average of 30 minutes saved per milking, you can reclaim up to 300 hours over a 300-day grazing season. Even during a shorter 250-day season, the time savings with e-gate are substantial, what would you do with an extra hour a day??? Research from robotic milking herds show that allowing cows to walk at their own pace significantly reduces the risk of lameness in the herd. Leading to reduced culling and increased production.

Additional Features

SmartPort: Designed to evolve with your farm, e-gate’s weatherproof SmartPort connects with a variety of accessories. This includes external alarms and enhanced rainfall detection, with more features on the way to help you maximise efficiency and productivity on the farm.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients think

"At 56 years old and poor with technology generally, I find the grasshopper very easy to use and the confidence it’s given me to make grass management decisions at a way earlier point than I used to. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve decision making around grass."

"Grasshopper gives me great utilization of grass, great confidence in the grazing rotation with increased protein percentages in cows going into proper cover all the time"

"The Grasshopper gives me the ability to be on top of the grazing management throughout the year. As we are a dry farm and burn up quickly, I find the Grasshopper System super at I seeing deficit (Grass position) coming 2 weeks ahead of what we normally would."

"Grassland Tools is a great help to any farmer, giving you your average farm cover per cow instantly, the farm map being colour coded give you a good clear overall look at your farm"

We’ve been using the system (Grasshopper) religiously for 4 years now and I would be completely lost now without it. I often wonder how I managed before I got it and started grass measuring.

"We were using cut and weigh years ago to measure grass but found it way to slow, so ended up giving it up until we came across the Grasshopper at the ploughing match in 2018. Its 2021 now and its part of the weekly routine every week. The speed and ability for anyone of the family to go out and measure grass is a huge benefit to us as labour is very scarce during the weekdays. It’s a job my wife and daughter love to do at the weekends. "
