Abstract: A feeding system for feeding individual animals of a herd feed, supplements, and combinations thereof. The feeding system includes one-to-many feed bin assemblies or feeding stations such that the system is able to dispense a specified mass of feed to specific animals at user-defined intervals. In this way, each animal of a herd is provided with optimal, individualized amounts of feed or feed material. Multiple feed bin assemblies in a single pasture, for example, can automatically form a network of feeders so that regardless of the specific feed bin assembly or feeding station within the feeding system that an animal visits, the specified amount and type of feed or feed material is delivered. Each feed bin assembly or feeding station can also be equipped with an access control mechanism to ensure each animal of a herd receives its individualized amounts of feed or feed material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are device, method, and computer program product embodiments for tracking the location of a device and corresponding tracked object and visually broadcasting their location. A device may transmit a signal via ultra-wideband, when moving, or Bluetooth low energy, when stationary, communication protocols to a mobile computing device. The signal can be used to triangulate the location of the device. The determined location information allows a device management system to track the location of devices and objects in a tracking environment. The device may receive instruction from the mobile computing device and/or device management system to illuminate and visually broadcast the location of the device and tracked object. The combination of the location and visual broadcast may allow a user to easily identify the device and tracked object in an environment with multiple tracked objects and location data alone may be insufficient for efficient identification.
