[0002] In the livestock industry, ear tags are often used as identification tags to better manage and track livestock health, reproductive status, disease prevention, and other information. Ear tags generally consist of a male tag and a female tag. The male tag is composed of a copper top piece, an ear tag neck, and a base, and is manufactured through an injection molding process. However, the traditional ear tag production process suffers from several major issues: Currently, most ear tags still rely on manual placement of the copper piece into a mold, starting the injection molding machine for injection molding, and finally manually removing the finished product. This series of steps is not only time-consuming but also inefficient. The frequent and repetitive manual operations result in extremely labor-intensive work for employees, which can easily lead to occupational diseases in the long term. During the injection molding process, workers face the risk of burns or other work-related accidents due to close contact with high-temperature equipment and molds. Summary of the Invention
