Gallagher EID Ear Tag Reader SmartReader HR0 – Professional EID Capture for Every Farm
The HR0 Handheld EID Tag Reader makes professional EID capture accessible to all. From high-performance farms to operations with large throughput, this entry-level device delivers reliable performance without the cost of a premium reader.
The HR0 connects you directly to individual animal data. It reads the electronic chip in the ear tag, displays unique EID numbers within seconds, and automatically counts them. No more manual recording, no input errors.
Fast Scanning, Extended Range
The HR0 operates faster and at a greater reading distance than you might expect from an EID reader. Its high scan speed ensures smooth animal flow, while the extended range allows reading from a comfortable distance.
Built for All-Day Use
With a well-balanced, ergonomic design and long-lasting battery, the HR0 remains reliable even during long workdays. Capture data for hundreds of animals comfortably over hours – built for real-world, everyday use.
EID Data When and Where You Need It
With seamless Bluetooth connectivity, EID numbers can be transmitted directly to Gallagher scales, third-party devices, or common farm apps. Keep your workflow efficient and uninterrupted, whether in the barn, on pasture, or in the office.
Accuracy and Reliability Without Compromise
Say goodbye to manual data entry and errors. In combination with the Gallagher Animal Performance App or programs like Excel or Notepad, EID data can be processed with a single click. Triple feedback via light, sound, and vibration ensures no scan is missed. When accuracy matters, you can rely on the HR0.
More Than Just Weighing
When paired with your existing weighing system, the HR0 reader allows you to monitor individual animal performance directly. Quickly identify high-performing animals, detect weaker animals early, and make informed decisions for selection or sale. Move beyond averages and maximise the potential of each animal.
Simple and Intuitive: Turn it on and start scanning within seconds.
Work Without Interruption: Ergonomic, well-balanced design for comfortable all-day operation. The powerful battery keeps up with your work pace.
Continuous Scanning: Reads FDX and HDX tags with extended range. Capture individual animals or use continuous scan mode for rapid sequential reading.
No Scan Is Missed: Triple feedback for every successful scan (sound, LED, and vibration).
Seamless Connectivity: Easily connect via Bluetooth to Gallagher or other brand scales, smartphones, and farm apps. In HID mode, EID numbers can also be transmitted directly to programs like Excel or Notepad.
