Why ARDES
What Sets ARDES Loops Apart
ARDES buckles guarantee a record retention rate, thanks to the innovative design of the clip and male tip, which operates on the harpoon principle. This design requires minimal effort on the user’s part to clip the buckle shut, while ensuring high strength, as certified by CETIM in laboratory tests.
Visual Identification Loops
A wide range of products tailored to your needs
The ARDES visual product line consists of pairs of male and female connectors, available unmarked or marked. All are available with a matching installation tool.
RFID Electronic Tags (HDX & FDX)
Instant identification, automated traceability
ARDES electronic ear tags were developed in collaboration with the French Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble, an expert in RFID technology. Approved by the International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR), they guarantee a long read range and consistently reliable performance—unlike the competition.
In addition, electronic identification makes it possible to leverage the animal’s identification number by implementing solutions in the field, such as herd management software, milking assistance, automatic weighing systems, automated animal sorting, automatic animal counting, and automatic feed distribution…

E-readers
The best reading solution selected by RFT Lab®
An electronic tag is nothing without a high-performance reader. That is why ARDES has partnered with RFT Lab®, a partner laboratory specializing in electronic measurements, to test dozens of systems and select the readers that deliver the best performance for its RFID tags.
A lineup of 4 players to meet every need
ARDES offers four readers suitable for all species and applications—from cattle to pets—with a variety of sizes, memory capacities, and connectivity options to meet your on-site needs.
Implantable RFID chips
Permanent Identification for Pets and Horses
Working closely with our long-standing German partner, a European leader in radio frequency technology, ARDES has developed a comprehensive line of implantable RFID microchips that meet international standards. Each microchip is tested individually—with a zero failure rate.
Installation & Marking Accessories
Installation accessories: pliers and marking pens
For comprehensive and effective identification, ARDES offers installation pliers and marking pens designed for heavy-duty, long-lasting use: impact resistance, long-term reliability, and ease of use with a quick grip, requiring minimal force to clip the buckle.
