Berntsen And Biomark Expand RFID Tracking For Fish And Wildlife With Esri ArcGIS Connectivity

New InfraMarker software connects Biomark RFID tags with Esri ArcGIS, giving researchers real-time visibility into fish and wildlife asset data.

Berntsen International, Inc. and Biomark, part of Merck Animal Health (known as MSD Animal Health outside of the United States and Canada), are excited to announce the availability of InfraMarker—an easy-to-implement software that links RFID-embedded animal tracking directly to Esri’s ArcGIS, the world’s leading geospatial platform.

Effective wildlife tracking is crucial for improving the environment, preserving fish and animal populations, and securing the world’s food sources. RFID chips embedded in fish and wildlife are essential for monitoring movement and assessing status, but until now, it has been challenging to integrate that data into geographic information system (GIS) technology that can map, display, and analyze the information—especially in the field.

With InfraMarker, users can scan and write to Biomark’s RFID PIT tags directly within Esri’s ArcGIS using tools like ArcGIS Survey123 and ArcGIS Field Maps. This enables researchers and conservationists to update asset records in real time and share critical data seamlessly across teams.
