Create a ScanPen Item For better record Keeping

      A scanpen item would provide further insights into scanning operations by providing meaningful context when evaluating scans for inventory purposes. When an animal is scanned, reports can provide the scan date and time as well as the technician. Users could use the scanpen item to track the amount of movements occurring at a facility or animals that have changed pens since an inventory performed by scanning. Scanning is a useful tool for streamlining work but also validating inventory. 

Knowing which pen you scanned the animals in while performing your everyday duties on the farm can be important for several reasons:

  1. Health Monitoring: Different pens may have different conditions or environments that could affect the health of the animals. By keeping track of which pen each animal came from, you can monitor their health more effectively and detect any potential issues early on.
  2. Disease Control: If there is a disease outbreak or illness in one particular pen, knowing which animals came from that pen allows you to isolate and treat them appropriately, minimizing the spread of disease to other animals in other pens.
  3. Nutritional Management: Animals in different pens may receive different feeds or nutritional supplements. Keeping track of which animals are in which pen allows you to ensure that they are receiving the correct diet and nutritional requirements.
  4. Breeding Records: If you're breeding animals on your farm, knowing the origin of each animal can help you maintain accurate breeding records and track lineage for future breeding decisions.
  5. Behavioral Observation: Animals may exhibit different behaviors based on their environment or the other animals they are housed with. Knowing which pen an animal came from can provide insights into its behavior and help you better understand and manage your herd or flock.

Overall, keeping track of which pen each animal came from is essential for effective farm management, ensuring the health, well-being, and productivity of the Farm.
