UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Drives Unique IoT Innovation in Farming
April 22, 2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The combination of UHDI's high-bandwidth capabilities and IoT's real-time data processing can lead to more efficient, immersive, and smarter IoT systems. This convergence of two revolutionary technologies is enabling quantum advancements in some very “unconventional” applications.
The typical discussions around UHDI focus on our standard electronics industry market segments like milaero, medical, consumer electronics, etc. IoT is all about machines talking to other machines, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, but again, typically applied in our PCB and assembly operations. The combination of UHDI and IoT is now exploding outside the electronics manufacturing industry, and the following two examples illustrate unexpected applications in farming.
The first is HerdDogg, a company that specializes in smart livestock tracking solutions using IoT technologies powered by UHDI engines. HerdDogg’s system is designed to provide real-time insights into herd health, location, behavior, and environmental conditions. The company makes lightweight sensors that are attached to the ears of herd animals to collect herd data and transmit it to the cloud, where it can then be accessed via the company’s app. The company also offers a drone that taps into the GPS location of herd animals so farmers and ranchers can oversee their herds remotely.
These wearable devices contain accelerometers to detect movement patterns and behaviors, temperature sensors to monitor animal health, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmitters (hardware transmitters), and low-power UHDI PCB technology to achieve compact, reliable functionality and high-speed data transmission. UHDI contributes compact, lightweight DoggTags, power efficiency and battery life, durability in outdoor environments, and integration of sensors, transmitters, and battery management in a tiny form factor.
