Enter commands, recall data or custom program function keys through the TouchPoint keypad. Pulsation Control through TouchPoint 1. With TouchPoint, pulsation can be controlled and managed at each stall point. No master control is needed. ViewPoint When there is limited need or time available to access data at each stall, ViewPoint offers a milker interface for the milking facility through one or more touch screens placed in the parlor. The ViewPoint touch screen can be programmed to provide information needed for the entire parlor, plus vital individual cow data can be accessed at the screen. Touch Screen as the ViewPoint interface 1. View real time cow information available from software on the touch screen; cow ID at the stall, milk yield, conductivity and activity per cow are all available at each ViewPoint touch screen for every cow in the parlor. 2. Additional controls allowing the milking crew to sort cows manually and at the end of the milking sessions are part of the touch screen interface. QuickStart with 1. When the milking claw is lifted, and tension is taken off the rope or chain, vacuum is automatically sent to the milking unit. No buttons to push, no extra steps. Saves extra motion the milking crew, so attention can be focused on the cows. 2. Vacuum delays, retract delays, and take-off thresholds are all programmable with the QuickStart feature. 2. Program pulsation to stop when the milking unit is detached on each individual cow. Save unnecessary run time with power saving mode when your pulsators are not in use. 3. Special pulsation rate/ratio can be programmed for the wash cycle. Adjusting pulsation during washing saves run time on pulsation and reduces liner wear. 4. Pulsation control is available from the SmartControl Meter or TouchPoint to give you more flexibility when designing your milking facility. collects and delivers all data, safely and reliably, while providing fully integrated control of your dairy at the touch of a finger.

6 11 Feeding Feeding Balancing the diet of cows in various stages of lactation is critical for optimum milk production. Many feeding systems on dairy farms today result from diversified housing and feeding facilities. If individual feeding of grain is used to balance the total ration of the cow, feeding grain to maintain or increase production can reduce overall feed and labor costs. software provides input commands for single or multiple sorting operations. The system also allows herd managers to use handheld PDAs and scanning equipment to read ISO RFID tags and sort as needed. No more wasting time pushing cows out of a group or holding them in headlocks gives you fast, flexible and efficient sorting at your fingertips. Sorting continued Feeding In the parlor Feeding grain in the parlor offers the opportunity to feed to the individual needs of the cow s milk production, stage of gestation and body condition score. If all cows are fed the same amount of grain in the parlor, some cows will be overfed, Hoof Care which will increase feed costs. Overfeeding also leads to inefficient feed utilization. Some cows will also be underfed, which will not allow them to optimize their level of production and may also deplete body reserves to the point that it affects reproduction and general health. StepMetrix StepMetrix is the first automated, objective, real-time lameness detection system available to milk producers. Research has shown that a typical case of lameness costs a dairy $300. More accurate than human observation, StepMetrix will save dairy operators Hoof Care Feeding Out of the parlor With computer-controlled concentrate feed stations in the freestall area, each cow is identified with its ISO RFID ear tag as it enters the feeding station. The correct amount of feed is dispensed based on the cow s predetermined ratio calculated in the software. User friendly set up of feeding parameters provides the ability to recalculate individual or money monitoring the soundness of every cow, every day. Installed in return lanes, StepMetrix identifies cows and measures their leg pressure as they walk over the system s sensors. A numeric value is created for each hind leg based on weight distribution, and will indicate potential hoof problems before they are visible and more costly to treat. StepMetrix can be used to track lameness on individual cows, groups, or an entire herd. group ratios. Reports give dairymen the information needed to optimize their balanced feed programs. StepGuardian StepGuardian hoof baths are an important part of the complete facility management concept. A fully automated system, StepGuardian reduces time and labor needed to clean, fill and empty hoof baths on your dairy. StepGuardian dispenses the optimum levels of powder, liquid chemical and water into Sorting Sorting Sorting cows is one of the most labor intensive activities on a dairy.
