Case Studies

US North Carolina Equine Training Center

A horse rehabilitation and training facility installed our UWB Locators to monitor injured horses in enclosed arenas. The real-time location data helped trainers ensure safety, optimize exercise schedules, and improve recovery results

US San Diego Animal Research Campus

This university-operated research facility integrated UWB into its primate enclosures for behavior study. The high-precision movement data enabled researchers to automate behavioral mapping, resulting in more accurate, less intrusive studies.

CA Alberta Bison Reserve

A bison conservation group in Alberta deployed UWB Locators in semi-domesticated herds for safety tracking and stress-reduction studies. Tag-based alerts prevented accidents in restricted zones and helped researchers monitor micro-movements
