Abstract
A system monitors use of teat dip for each sprayer in a dairy. Sensors detect the flow of teat dip through the supply lines to each sprayer. A processor monitors the sensors and stores sensor data over a period of time. A wide variety of reports concerning use of teat dip can be generated from this sensor data.
Claims18
A system for monitoring use of teat dip in a dairy having a plurality of manually-actuated sprayers for dispensing teat dip, said system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, each sensor detecting actuation of a sprayer;
- a processor monitoring the sensors and storing sensor data over a period of time;
- and
- a report generator producing reports concerning use of teat dip from the data stored by the processor.
A system for monitoring use of teat dip in a dairy having supply lines and a plurality of manually-actuated sprayers for dispensing teat dip, said system comprising:
- a plurality of flow meters, each flow meter measuring the flow of teat dip through a supply line to a sprayer;
- a processor monitoring the flow meters and storing flow data over a period of time;
- and
- a report generator producing reports concerning use of teat dip from the flow data stored by the processor.
A system for monitoring use of teat dip in a dairy having supply lines and a plurality of manually-actuated valve for dispensing teat dip, said system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, each sensor detecting the flow of teat dip through a supply line to a sprayer;
- at least one local processor monitoring a set of the sensors and storing sensor data over a period of time;
- and
- a main processor in communications with each local processor to upload sensor data and having a report generator producing reports concerning use of teat dip from the sensor data.
