BolusAI — the smart rumen capsule

Fit once, monitor for years. BolusAI sits safely in the cow's rumen and gives you early visibility of heat and health — from the inside, where it matters.

How it works

BolusAI is administered orally like a standard bolus and settles in the rumen. From there it continuously measures temperature, activity and rumen conditions, transmitting data wirelessly to a base station and on to the cloud.

  • 1. Administer — a one-time, stress-free application per animal
  • 2. Monitor — the capsule records data around the clock
  • 3. Analyse — our AI detects heat events and health anomalies
  • 4. Alert — you get a clear notification on your phone
BolusAI Cloud + AI

How the system works — end to end

Enterprise-grade architecture, built for farms: ultra-low-power LoRaWAN from the capsule to mesh-linked farm gateways, encrypted internet uplink to the TechAIML cloud, and AI-driven dashboards and alerts on any device.

Why LoRaWAN?

We chose LoRaWAN because it's the proven industry standard for large-scale, low-power IoT — ideal for working farms.

  • ~500 m coverage per gateway — aerial radius from a centrally mounted gateway, covering barns, yards and paddocks
  • Mesh networking — add gateways and they link together, extending coverage across larger farms and remote fields
  • Ultra-low power — the capsule transmits for years without a battery change
  • Scales with your herd — each gateway handles thousands of capsules
  • Secure by design — end-to-end encryption from capsule to cloud
  • Resilient — gateways buffer data locally if the internet connection drops

What BolusAI gives you

🔥

Early heat detection

Detect oestrus earlier and more reliably than visual observation — improve conception rates and tighten calving intervals.

🌡️

Health & fever alerts

Temperature anomalies flag illness, calving onset and heat stress before visible symptoms, so you can act early and cut treatment costs.

💧

Drinking & rumen insight

Monitor drinking behaviour and rumen conditions to support feeding decisions and overall herd wellbeing.

📱

Alerts on any device

Clear notifications and dashboards on your phone, tablet or computer — no extra software to install.

🔋

Fit and forget

No collars to adjust or tags to lose. One capsule, years of monitoring, zero daily maintenance.

📈

Better herd economics

Higher fertility, earlier interventions and fewer vet callouts add up to a measurable return on investment.

Who is it for?

BolusAI is designed for dairy and beef farmers who want reliable, low-effort insight into every animal — whether you run 40 cows or 4,000. It's equally valuable for vets and breeding professionals who need accurate data to support their decisions.
