Optibrand Market Strengths: • Biometric identification allows auditing. • Evidence is admissible in legal disputes. • Highest standard available for identification. • Low cost data collection. • Marketing value of the secure traceability • Flexibility – like age determination • Individual animal identification
The OptiAge™ Process • OptiReader™ Device captures and encrypts • GPS coordinates • Time and date • Retinal scan of animal • Digital image of dentition. • Visual individual animal identification.
Frequently Asked Questions • Does it take long to take an image? • A trained operator can take an image every 10 - 15 seconds. • Does the animal need to be restrained? • Yes, a typical chute or calf cradle is all that is required. • Does the light create problems or damage the eye? • No the light intensity is low enough that it does not create a problem. • Does the OptiReader work on slaughtered animals? • The OptiReader works on dead cattle for up to 6 hours after slaughter
Frequently Asked Questions • Who keeps the data in the Optibrand system? • Our system was designed with flexibility. Typically, the customer keeps the data and we hold the decryption keys. • How much does the machine cost? • We sell the machine at cost – currently around $2,000. • How does Optibrand make money? • We charge a transaction fee. Typically, we charge once per owner. Swift pays US$0.90 per head.
Opportunities in Brazil • Border Control • All imported animals could be tagged and/or branded and optically scanned. • Could require scanning annually or just at each movement. • Could scan at the plant to confirm the destination of the beef.
Opportunities in Brazil • Pre-harvest traceability: • Source verified cattle programs • Fully integrate from farm to facility • Secure data auditable & verifiable by third party • Digitally based information transfer • Secure web enabled data transfer based • Cross-platform compatible • Sisbov compatibility
Opportunities in Brazil • Post-harvest traceability: • Record individual animal ID • Universal data capture capabilities • Electronic identification (EID) • Optical identification (Retinal Imaging) • Bar-coded tags • Physical identification with electronic conversion (Nose print technology or digital pictures) • Secure data auditable and verifiable by third party • Digitally based information transfer • Secure web enabled data transfer based
