Tag Deployment Shipping & Updates

We’re getting close!

Following last week’s update about our Kerlink Gateways coming online, our team is continuing full-system testing and preparing for pilot program deployment. Based on our current progress, we estimate that initial pilot deployments for customers who secured the early $40 tag rate should begin in late September.

This remains an estimated timeline. As testing continues, additional refinements to the tag design, including a potential adjustment to product materials, may slightly extend deployment. We will share updates as the schedule becomes more solidified with the manufacturer.

We also want to provide context on why the original production timeline has shifted.

As we moved closer to real-world cattle deployment, our team identified areas where the tag design required additional refinement and field-hardening. We have also been troubleshooting integration between the tags, gateways, backend systems, and the customer-facing application to ensure that information moves reliably throughout the Ori system.

In addition, recent livestock health concerns, including New World Screwworm, have reinforced the importance of developing a system that can adapt to evolving herd-monitoring and producer needs. Our software team is continuing to evaluate how these considerations should be incorporated into the broader Ori platform.

These adjustments take additional time, but they are important steps toward delivering a system that is dependable, practical, and ready for use in real cattle operations.

As shipments begin, priority will be given to customers with fully paid invoices. Customers with outstanding balances will receive additional instructions before their order is scheduled for shipment.

If you are uncertain about your invoice status, please reach out to us. We will be happy to provide that information. There is still an opportunity to ensure your account is current.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who believed in Ori early and supported us through this process. Thank you for believing in what we’re building.
