About Us

SmartBolus™ is a product of TenXsys. TenXsys has been in business since 2002 and has developed a number of animal monitoring products.  Initial products were wildlife tracking devices which required reliable, power conserving electronics that needed to be able to withstand harsh environments for several years.

Our engineering team has combined experience of over 80 years.

In 2005 TenXsys was asked to begin investigating the feasibility of applying some of our existing technology to a rumen bolus application.  Since mid-2007 we have had ongoing successful trials at dairies.
