Setup UTAGS TagScan R1 & R2 (app)

Proud Partners in software integration, Australian owned UTAGS, offer hardware devices to scan custom electronic identification tags, to help reduce time on a number of stock management practices (scanning, processing etc) to maximise the well-being of livestock and staff.
The TagScan R2 has the ability to scan an NLIS device while scanning a UTAGS custom Visual Tag in quick succession to a StockMate Session, making identification logging in Branding and Induction (Arrival) Sessions, more streamlined.
