A thousand camels with necklaces

In this central part of Xinjiang, more than 1,000 camels wear Beidou satellite navigation collars, and herders can “graze” camels at home.

This winter, the herder Ba no longer has to brave the biting wind to follow behind the camel’s butt on the Gobi Desert. Using the Beidou satellite, he can clearly understand the situation of his camel on the Gobi Desert every day without leaving home

Ba is a herder in Xinjiang. He is responsible for the management of more than 300 camels. Because camels like to breed freely on the Gobi Desert, herders either lived with camels in the Gobi Desert in previous years, or had to go through the hunt for camels every three weeks. A very ” Tough” task.

Starting from three years ago, Ba has gradually put the Beidou satellite navigation collar on the camel’s neck. Through satellite positioning, the location and moving speed of the camel can be remotely and real-timely grasped by mobile phones.

Nowadays, every camel has its own electronic ID card, and the camel with an electronic chip can be easily recognized by the chip code information through a handheld reader. Herders only need to download and run the application system with their mobile phones to remotely observe and operate. Intelligent grazing.

Today, more than 1,000 camels in the local area have used the Beidou satellite service. Ba plans to use the functions of the pedometer and body temperature monitoring in the Beidou satellite navigation collar in the next step, so as to ensure that every camel is healthy every day.
