Afimilk Readers Malfunctions Report

Afimilk Readers consistently collect data from the tags. AfiFarm uses this data to calculate heat and health alerts for the cows monitored. Losing data due to faults with the Afimilk Reader may lead to delayed alerts of critical cow incidents.

Since the other fault alerting tool of AfiFarm -– the Site Faults module - only displays active alerts for occasional Afimilk Reader faults, use the report described below to view a recent history of Afimilk Reader faults.

Red - Indicates a fault in the most recently ended session.

Green - Indicates no faults occurred.

The upper table in the report lists the following alerts for the Reader devices:

Column	Description
Reader	Displays the Afimilk Reader ID
Range	Fault icon indicates a decrease from the normal number of tags read during the same period. If a communication fault exists, the range option remains empty.
Communication	Fault icon indicates long communication breaks that may affect data collection (those detected by Site Faults application).

Lower detailed report: Click a row in the top table to display detailed calculations for the last six calculation times, for the selected Afimilk Reader. Faults consistent across multiple sessions require inspection by a trained Afimilk technician.
