HerdX is a Finalist at New Zealand Awards Ceremony
The American Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand honored the Texas based data company as the only company recognized for two awards
HerdX was honored to be a finalist for both the Innovator of the Year award as well as the Bilateral Connections award this past week. Among numerous applicants, the Chamber recognizes that HerdX has made significant contributions to strengthening ties between New Zealand and the United States.
New Zealand's Minister of Agriculture, Damien O'Connor, highlighted their accomplishments, "The HerdX Traceability System will enable us (New Zealand) to tell the story of our wonderful meat."
"New Zealand is one of the top livestock exporters in the world of all-natural products. Yet, we have found that so few people in other countries understand the very unique ways that New Zealand producers work to create environmentally friendly, naturally raised lamb and beef. Our system uses proprietary technology to tell that story to consumers around the world in a blockchain verified, trustworthy way," says Ron Hicks, HerdX Founder and CEO.
Interestingly, both companies are leaders in their respective industries. Rocket Lab is building rockets to "connect us, keep us safe, help us understand our planet..." HerdX has the same mission focused in the food industry. HerdX connects supply chain participants, reflecting safety and understanding to consumers through transparency.

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services
Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
