### Learn more about GENEX's herd monitoring solutions!

GENEX offers two herd monitoring solutions: an on-premise solution, GENEX HerdMonitor — on-premise, and a cloud solution, GENEX HerdMonitor — cloud. While both products offer the same accurate, reliable herd insights, GENEX HerdMonitor — cloud has the processing power and scalability of cloud computing. To learn more about the cloud solution, see [GENEX HerdMonitor — cloud](docId\:EY5oMGKFZLylxQuws94U8).

[GENEX HerdMonitor — on-premise](https://genex.coop/herdmonitor/) animal sensors monitor reproduction, rumination, eating, and movements to provide deeper insights on heat detection, overall health, and animals requiring urgent attention. Its all-in-one herd monitoring solution is an advanced, easy-to-use system available through the on-premise platform, Velos. PULSE displays live sensor data in a Dairy Dashboard widget and individual animal CowCards on the Partners tab, providing an up-to-date view of animals requiring health checks or reproduction-related protocols.
