Farm Online® Management for pig producers
A wide geographical distribution of herds, an owner, who is not necessarily in the house every day, and higher production requirements call for a complete overview of production. FarmOnline monitors house computers from a central location and makes it possible to extract and present selected data graphically.
Valid data without delay
FarmOnline® ensures the producer quick access to valid data. FarmOnline® is connected live to the individual house computers, making it possible to extract current and valid climate data. The house computer transmits data directly to a PC for a high degree of data validity and more time to look after the pigs. The setup of the house computer can be copied, thus allowing the setup for the best performing house to be copied to the other house computers. The FarmOnline® system presents climate data in a well-ordered fashion, providing the pig producer with a quick overview and the possibility of monitoring the development of the individual batches. The system can extract numerous data, including key values for humidity, cooling, temperature, etc.
FarmOnline® can be used with house computers in existing networks and SKOV's new house computers also feature a built-in LAN Ethernet.
Safety with FarmOnline
With FarmOnline®, the producer receives alarms from the house computer, enabling him to take immediate, qualified action, e.g. in order to change the setup of the house computer to ensure the welfare of the pigs and prevent financial losses. Alarms appear in a pop-up window on the PC and the system can be set up to transmit an alarm via a text message or email.
FarmWatch gives you peace of mind
In the case of a disease in the pig herd, immediate action means that serious losses can be minimised and the disease quickly identified. Studies show that it is often possible to detect cases of disease in a pig herd through the pigs' consumption of water as early as up to 24 hours before any symptoms become visible. FarmWatch is a system used in connection with finisher production; it monitors water consumption. The system records the pigs' consumption of water every hour, and notice about any deviation from normal consumption is given via a text message and an alarm view on the house computer. Treatment can thus be initiated before the disease affects productivity adversely.
Clear and adapted to the individual herd
Today, house computers are advanced, with numerous setting options. It can, therefore, be difficult to see whether an employee has unintentionally changed the settings for a house. With FarmOnline®, any deviation from the planned strategy is clearly displayed, making it easy for the producer to ensure that all the houses follow the planned strategy. In addition, photos of the farm and the individual sections can be added to make it easy to supervise the individual houses and easy to navigate between them.
SKOV delivers and installs cables and cordless networks that are developed especially for installation in house environments, thus preventing any malfunctioning or breakdowns.
Online across the world
SKOV's FarmOnline® app for smartphones enables farm managers to access climate data and alarms on all house computers. Internet access is all you need. This minimises the risk of losses in case of a system breakdown and enables the farm manager to monitor the herd even though he is not physically present in the house. The SKOV mobile app can be downloaded for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone.
