Welcome to the website of the New Zealand RFID Pathfinder Group


The New Zealand RFID Pathfinder Group is a non-profit, membership based incorporated society. Our vision is for New Zealand to achieve superior economic and competitive performance through the adoption of RFID and EPC technologies. Our mission is to make the process of evolution (or revolution) faster and make the result optimal. We will work with industry and individuals to educate, research, pilot and implement RFID to provide valuable leanings for our members.

New Zealand Study Finds UHF Superior for Livestock Tracking
Preliminary field trials indicate that ultra high frequency (UHF) technology would be far more efficient and less costly for electronic identification of livestock than the low frequency (LF) systems currently favoured in New Zealand.

The UHF RFID trials with deer, sheep and cattle resulted in fast and simultaneous identification of multiple animals at high levels of reliability and performance in on-farm and processing facility locations. The trials used UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers.

The results are published by the New Zealand RFID Pathfinder Group Inc. in a report entitled "RFID Technical Study:
The application of UHF RFID technology to animal ear tagging in deer, sheep and cattle farming". The RFID Pathfinder Group is a not-for-profit incorporated society formed by several large New Zealand organisations to build understanding of RFID technologies and the economic benefits to this country when these technologies are based on global standards.
