Chapter 1
Product Overview
Afi2GOTM is an afimilk® program installed on a smartphone, pocket PC or PDA
(hand-held computer), as a field extension of AfiFarmTM and AfiShepherdTM.
Throughout this manual, the term PDA refers to all three of these devices.
You prepare for an Afi2GO session in AfiFarm or AfiShepherd, and then
transfer the relevant data and settings to Afi2GO. Afi2GO supports the
following areas:
 Animal and herd events
 Veterinary issues
 Fertility events
 Animal characteristics
The most efficient and accurate way of using Afi2GO is when your animals are
marked by passive or active RFID tags: You point the PDA’s antenna at the
tag, press a button, and view a concise summary of what field actions are
required for that animal. (You can also manually enter the animal ID.)
As you implement the day’s plan, you tap the information into Afi2GO, taking
advantage of the many intuitive shortcuts supported for entering the data.
When the field session is over, you transfer the changed data back into
AfiFarm or AfiShepherd.
NOTES:
For support of Afi2GO, make sure that your version of AfiFarm/
AfiShepherd is 3.07 or later.
In this document, AfiShepherd refers to either AfiSheep or
AfiGoat.
Afi2GO can be used in most devices that operate under a Windows Mobile
operating system. Clarify with S.A.E. Afikim as to which devices may be
used. S.A.E. Afikim recommends using a specially built Psion TEKLOGIX®
Workabout Pro G2 7527® PDA.
The interface in this manual is from a Workabout Pro device. If using a
different device, the interface may vary slightly.
Page 1
Afi2GO User Manual
NOTE:
Before charging or using the battery pack, read instructions in
the Workabout Pro Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile
User Manual , Psion part number 8100144.
Batteries must be fully charged before use.
The backup battery can be charged only after the main battery
is fully charged.
Charge both batteries, (including the backup battery) for 36
hours before use.
As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases
gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after
approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original
capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage
or operating the unit at temperature extremes will shorten the
battery life.

b. The instructions in Guide to AfiFarm/ AfiShepherd Synchronization with
Afi2GO (supplied on CD) regarding sending data to Afi2GO.
2. If the error message returns, do all of the following:
a. Make sure that the USB cable connects the WORKABOUT PRO docking
station and the computer on which AfiFarm/ AfiShepherd is running.
b. Make sure that the WORKABOUT PRO is turned on but that Afi2GO is
closed.

 In the Event Menu or the Scan Menu, tap the Close Menu button.
Tag scanning tips
There are two troubleshooting issues in scanning animal RFID (radio
frequency identification) tags:
 Making sure that the scanner reads the tag
 Making sure that the scanner does not read the wrong tag
These sections provides guidelines and illustrations to help you succeed in
reading the correct tag.
Passive tags and active tags
Both passive tags and active tags encode a unique electronic identification
(EID) tag number. When you scan a tag, both active and passive tags
respond by broadcasting the electronic tag number back to the scanner.
Active tags (an option for cows, but not in use for sheep or goats) gather
information that helps diagnose health and fertility status. When you scan an
active tag, the additional information is also broadcast back to the scanner.
For part information on the variety of scanning antennas (those for passive
tags and those for active tags) available for the WORKABOUT PRO, see
“Afi2GO assemblies and parts” on page 43.
Page 37
Afi2GO User Manual
Ear tags
All supported ear tags are passive, available for cows, sheep, and goats. Ear
tags are fastened as illustrated in Figure 12.
Figure 12: Ear tag
Point the scanning antenna towards the flat face of the tag that you see on
the inside of the ear. The distance from a scanning antenna to an ear tag
should be less than 15 cm. (6 inches).
Bolus tags
The passive RFID ceramic bolus tag is orally administered by a trained
operator. After being swallowed by the cow, sheep, or goat, it lodges in the
reticulum (the second fore-stomach).
To read a bolus tag, point the antenna at the front left side of the animal, just
behind the armpit. The distance from the tip of the scanning antenna to a
bolus tag should be less than 15 cm. (6 inches).
Leg tags
Although passive RFID leg tags are available for cows, sheep, and goats,
active tags are supported for cows only. Scan all RFID leg tags from above.
Active leg tags
For active leg tags, the distance from the tip of the scanning antenna to the
tag should be less than 45 cm. (18 inches). The correct antenna orientation
(from above), and the maximum distance, are illustrated in Figure 13.
Page 38
Afi2GO User Manual
Figure 13: Active leg tag
Passive leg tags
For passive leg tags, under ideal conditions (from above), the maximum
distance from the tip of the scanning antenna to the tag is 15 cm. (6 inches).
If many animals are crowding together, or if the antenna is not above the tag,
in order to avoid mistaken identification, the maximum distance is 5 cm. (2
inches).
The correct antenna orientation (from above), and the maximum distance
under crowded conditions, are illustrated in Figure 14.
