In previous years, I was busy grazing every day, and I couldn't free up my hands for other things.
Now, each camel has its own electronic ID card, and the camel with an electronic chip can easily recognize the chip code information through a handheld reader, and can grasp the position and moving speed of the camel group in real time through the mobile phone remotely.
