17 August 2023 Fullwood launches even smarter milking robot software: FULLSENSE

FULLSENSE – the software solution that automatically converts complex data into tips and information – is now available to all dairy farmers worldwide. This represents another step by Fullwood towards more data-driven business. FULLSENSE makes it very easy for dairy farmers to make the right decisions for their farms and thus improve their business performance.

No more analysing yourself

FULLSENSE supports dairy farmers in making efficient decisions for healthier herds and optimal milk quality. The new milking robot software was informed by the idea of taking even more work off farmers’ hands and enabling them to make smarter choices. Your farm, your cows, your data. That is the guiding principle.

With FULLSENSE, dairy farmers no longer have to analyse data themselves: the software does it for them. FULLSENSE interprets data, gives it meaning and provides recommendations and tips based on the data. We call it Data to Decision.

Automatic notifications and tips

Ingo Radermacher, CTO at Fullwood, succinctly explains how FULLSENSE works. ‘The application automatically notifies you if it notices any of your cows developing abnormal behaviour. It notices when the input changes, like a cow producing less milk, changes in milk composition, or changes in the cow’s activity. FULLSENSE can then recommend that the cow be checked for conditions like mastitis, for example. You can also see the information the application has used to draw these conclusions.’

‘The application also detects changes in the cows’ behaviour,’ Ingo continues. ‘Perhaps a cow is not eating what she normally eats, for example, or she suddenly starts lying down less. Has she changed her routine? There could be all sorts of reasons for this. FULLSENSE will help you identify them. The application alerts you to issues in good time so you can take prompt action to address them.’

Data to Decision gives the farmer tips and reminders so the robots and cows remain optimally aligned and deliver maximum performance 24 hours a day. Besides data on cows, FULLSENSE also provides a wealth of information on the milking system. Again, it is important to know in good time when intervention is needed, such as cleaning or maintaining parts.
