How IoT (Internet of Things) can help us solve our ecological problems!

Protecting endangered wildlife and their natural habitats is crucial to ensure the survival of these species. In extreme weather conditions and on tough terrain, often dusty, muddy or covered in dense rainforest canopy, Saft batteries play an important role in biodiversity.

In the world’s most isolated regions, smart cameras, acoustic sensors and thermal imaging technologies are among the many IoT (Internet of Things) solutions that are being used to identify situations where animals are at risk. In South Africa, the company Africa Wildlife Tracking Saft has designed custom-built tracking devices to protect animals such as rhinos and elephants.

The special collars, ear tags and horn implants are used with Saft LS batteries and are linked by RF, GPRS or satellite networks. Even when the sun is high in the sky, nature rangers and conservationists can gain insights into the behavior of the animals at any time. For example, they prevent poaching with sabotage detection and geofence alerts (leaving a predefined area).
