- Choose your setup for the milking pit, the office or off the farm.
- Online customisable dashboard to see your key data in real-time
- Check on the performance of a particular piece of equipment on the vat or within the milk cooling system
Alerts
Set up alerts so you know when there is a problem, react quickly and minimise potential losses. You can also check on the vat system while milking with an in-shed display, highlighting milk volume and temperatures as well as the vat agitator status.

- Milk temperature measurement to ensure regulations are met.
