Research and reality 

We worked closely with Jio team to understand the current product scenario. SCR tags are imported to India to cater this market segment. These tags are of one time use with no scope of battery replacement. We assessed internal parts/architect by dismantling the whole product. It help us to redefine the boundaries and bring new set of possibilities for the aspiring product.

User Experience Design

Jio cow tag has to fulfil its customer wish and make the experience more satisfactory. Here the user is Cow/pet and buyer is farmer. The main challenge is to refine the form to great extent so that it can be comfortable to cow's ear and on the same time, easy to use by the farmer. The form should not require any extra process and the tag should be installed with existing tools which farmer already has. All such points are considered while reaching to final form. Currently, the tag is used as one time charged device, and it has to discard after the battery goes off. Jio tag also takes up this challenge and made the device with replaceable battery without compromising any IP rating of the device. 

Functionality with craftsmanship

PencilProto team completed the final design with a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics. The form took inspiration from water drop which encapsulate the functional parts yet make look completely new and pleasing to eyes. The final color has to really connect with farmers as an emotional element or for anyone who is looking at the product. In India, cow is worshipped as mother from generations and hence an orange color ( color of garland ) is selected for production.
