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

Alta offers two herd monitoring solutions: an on-premise solution, Alta COW WATCH, and a cloud solution, Alta COW WATCH Premium. While both products offer the same accurate, reliable herd insights, Alta COW WATCH Premium has the processing power and scalability of cloud computing. To learn more about the on-premise solution, see [Alta COW WATCH](docId\:Qc56nfJPuW0QDtLb_8vTa).
:::

Alta COW WATCH Premium 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 cloud-based platform, Nedap Now. PULSE displays live sensor data in a Dairy Dashboard widget, providing an up-to-date view of animals requiring health checks or reproduction-related protocols.

**IMPORTANT: **Your animal **Preferred Identifier** must match the ID item in PULSE to correctly identify your animals in the partner’s system. Either set your [Preferred Identifier](docId:4kVQzfdxIflBY5xk99FV2) to **ID** in [Settings](docId:-EcmDfO97IvxS9NjyLlpk), or confirm that your selected identifier and ID item values match.
