Flow from LVS is an innovative solution that transforms your existing backing gate infrastructure through cutting-edge, camera-based Artificial Intelligence.
Designed to optimise cow movement into the milking shed, Flow stands out as a game-changer that requires no costly hardware upgrades. Here’s why AI like Flow is the future of dairy farming.
Why Choose Flow?
Enhanced Cow Health and Yield
Flow not only streamlines operations but also promotes cow health, leading to higher yields. By ensuring consistent and efficient cow flow, it significantly reduces the occurrence of white-line disease and lameness. Healthier cows mean fewer vet visits and increased milk production, directly benefiting your bottom line.
Minimising Human Error
In farming, human error can lead to inconsistent livestock handling. Flow removes this variable by automating gate movements, allowing your team to focus on other crucial tasks. This not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that livestock handling is consistent and gentle.
Faster Milking Times
Time is a precious commodity on any farm. Flow facilitates the smooth and efficient movement of cows through the milking shed, significantly reducing milking times, up to 18.16% faster in one recent study (Te Awa Farm, Craigmore). This efficiency not only boosts productivity but also enhances the overall working environment for staff.
Energy Efficiency
Reducing milking times has a direct impact on energy consumption. With Flow, you can expect a reduction of at least 9% in the power used to operate your dairy. This not only lowers operational costs but also supports sustainable farming practices by minimising energy waste.
Effortless Installation: Zero Downtime, Maximum Efficiency
For dairy farmers, minimising disruption during the installation of new technology is crucial. Flow is designed with this in mind, ensuring a seamless setup that requires no downtime in your milking schedule.
Flow leverages your existing backing gate infrastructure, meaning no extensive modifications or hardware upgrades are needed. The advanced camera-based AI system can be installed quickly and efficiently between milking sessions. This ensures that your daily operations continue uninterrupted, maintaining productivity and avoiding any delays in your milking routine.
Seamless Integration
The integration of Flow is designed to be smooth and hassle-free. Technicians work efficiently to install the system, ensuring that it aligns effortlessly with your current setup. This means less stress for you and your staff, as the installation process is completed without impacting your critical milking times.
Immediate Benefits
Once installed, Flow immediately enhances cow flow, optimising efficiency and improving overall dairy operations. You’ll start seeing the benefits right away and the system will be fully herd optimised within six weeks.
Flow truly is the first product of its kind and offers a remarkable solution for dairy farmers who are looking to enhance productivity, improve cow health, and reduce operational costs. Embrace the future of farming with Flow and witness the transformation in your dairy operations.
