AI is running my dairy farm, milking times are quicker

Here's why AI like Flow is the future of dairy farming:

1. Enhanced Cow Health and Yield

   Flow not only streamlines operations but also promotes cow health, leading to higher yields. By ensuring consistent and efficient cow flow, it significantly reduces the occurrence of white line disease and lameness. Healthier cows mean fewer vet visits and increased milk production, directly benefiting your bottom line.

2. Minimising Human Error

   In farming, human error can lead to inconsistent livestock handling. Flow removes this variable by automating gate movements, allowing your team to focus on other crucial tasks. This not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that livestock handling is consistent and gentle.

3. Faster Milking Times

   Time is a precious commodity on any farm. Flow facilitates the smooth and efficient movement of cows through the milking shed, significantly reducing milking times, up to 18.16% faster on one recent study (Te Awa Farm, Craigmore). This efficiency not only boosts productivity but also enhances the overall working environment for staff.

4. Energy Efficiency

   Reducing milking times has a direct impact on energy consumption. With Flow, you can expect a reduction of at least 9% in the power used to operate your dairy. This not only lowers operational costs but also supports sustainable farming practices by minimising energy waste. Effortless Installation: Zero Downtime, Maximum Efficiency. For dairy farmers, minimising disruption during the installation of new technology is crucial. Flow is designed with this in mind, ensuring a seamless setup that requires no downtime in your milking schedule. Flow leverages your existing backing gate infrastructure, meaning no extensive modifications or hardware upgrades are needed. The advanced camera-based AI system can be installed quickly and efficiently between milking sessions. This ensures that your daily operations continue uninterrupted, maintaining productivity and avoiding any delays in your milking routine.

5. Seamless Integration

   The integration of Flow is designed to be smooth and hassle-free. Technicians work efficiently to install the system, ensuring that it aligns effortlessly with your current setup. This means less stress for you and your staff, as the installation process is completed without impacting your critical milking times.

6. Immediate Benefits

   Once installed, Flow immediately enhances cow flow, optimising efficiency and improving overall dairy operations. You’ll start seeing the benefits right away and the system will be fully herd optimised within 6 weeks.
