Location update after move

We notice something with location updates. A cow’s location updates automatically once she visits a device in the new area.

But when we move 5 to 10 cows at the same time, they often remain listed on the fetch list for their old location. This makes it hard for the person fetching cows, since the animals are no longer where Horizon says they should be. It also affects the TMR Feeder because we rely on accurate numbers per location.

Currently it is a lot of clicks to manually update the location Is there a smarter way to handle batch moves?

  • stranegly enough, we hardly ever wait for Horizon to auto-update locations. When we move a group, we just assume the system will lag behind a bit that’s normal when none of them have walked past a sensor yet. For us the solution has been to build the move into the workflow after shifting a group, we run them past a gate or robot anyway so everything updates in one go. hmmm does it fix everything? No. But it avoids cows sitting in the wrong section for hours.
