C-Lock’s SmartLine™ systems track individual animal performance by precisely measuring feed intake, body weight, and water consumption in real time. Using advanced RFID technology, SmartLine systems automatically identify animals as they interact with equipment, delivering accurate, individual-level data without disrupting normal behavior.
With SmartFeed™, SmartScale™, SmartWater™, and Pro models, researchers and producers gain clean, actionable insights that help improve feed efficiency, detect performance changes earlier, and make more confident nutrition, genetic, and management decisions.
Traditional herd-level data can hide critical differences between animals. Our SmartLine products reveal what’s happening at the individual animal level, allowing users to move beyond larger herd averages and make data-driven, individual animal decisions with confidence.
By understanding exactly what each animal consumes and how efficiently that intake converts to weight gain, users can optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve herd performance over time.
“SmartLine systems use RFID technology to automatically identify each animal as it approaches the equipment. This ensures every data point - feed intake, water consumption, and body weight - is accurately assigned to the correct animal.
SmartFeed identifies animals as they approach the feed bunk and begin eating. The system records:
This data provides a clear picture of individual feeding behavior and amount.
SmartWater applies the same RFID-based identification to water intake. As animals drink, the system records:
Water intake data adds an important layer of insight into animal well-being and productivity.
SmartScale records an animal’s body weight each time it steps onto the scale, usually placed in front of a water or feed source. Without manual handling, producers and researchers can track:
Daily weight data provides a consistent view into weight trends and individual consumption to gain performance.
While each SmartLine product delivers valuable insights on its own, pairing SmartFeed, SmartWater, and SmartScale creates a complete performance monitoring solution.
Together, these systems allow users to:
This full-picture approach enables researchers and producers to make smarter, faster decisions backed by real data.
With SmartLine performance monitoring systems, users can:
By capturing accurate, individual animal data, SmartLine empowers producers to improve profitability today while building a more efficient herd for the future. Researchers now have access to individual animal data for direct comparisons, research insights for feed trials, and other scientific needs.
