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

Yellow - Indicates faults that occurred in one of the previous sessions, but not the last sessions that ended.

Green - Indicates no faults occurred.

Click the relevant indicator on the dashboard to display the corresponding report.

Indications listed in this section:

  • Milking Equipment – indicates malfunctions in milking equipment (i.e. vacuum, pulsation, electricity, etc.). The indicator is based on cows' behavior and milking while in the stalls. The value next to the indicator specifies the number of stalls with fault alerts.

  • Milk Meters – indicates malfunctions with one or more milk meters. The value next to the indicator specifies the number of stalls with fault alerts.

  • AfiLab – indicates malfunctions with one or more AfiLab devices. The value next to the indicator specifies the number of stalls with fault alerts.

  • Parlor ID – indicates the quality of Cow identification during milking. The value displays the actual rate of identification [value (%)] in the parlor.

  • Stalls ID – indicates reduced ID rates at specific milking points. This indication is typically correlated to antenna failure. Note: this indication is active for stall ID systems only.

  • Wash Alerts – displays alerts for insufficient quality of wash and sanitation (CIP) in the milking parlor. The value on the dashboard signifies the number of wash points (milk meters) that failed to complete proper wash targets.
