PLF Australia

PLF Australia (Precision Livestock Farming), that commenced operation in Emerald, Central Queensland, was established to design and deliver ‘best-of-breed’ sensor-based automation and real time management information for agricultural operations. PLF Australia believe that the evolution of technology to an Internet of Things (IoT) approach is a significant catalyst for innovation in all industries, including in the farming sector which is one of the last to benefit from this new ubiquitous situation. Farm management today involves considerable time for farmers to travel their property checking their fences, stock/crops, water supplies, vehicles location and so on. This activity can take hours to days and so intervention when problems are detected is often slow. In addition, livestock and crop growth and profitability can be compromised through a lack of real time information.
