Dairymaster’s objective in Ireland is to make dairy farming more profitable, enjoyable and sustainable. The company has carved out a reputation, both nationally and internationally, for providing hi-tech solutions for dairy farming.
MooMonitor new
In much the same way that Google Glass is bringing about a revolution in how humans interact with computers, the MooMonitor is bringing wearable technology to the farmyard and is helping to change the face of agriculture. The MooMonitor which is a necklace for cows, measures movement using accelerometers from rockets, transmits the results to farmers using WIFI or 3G and is controlled by a simple app on their phone or tablet. That same willingness to break new ground means Dairymaster’s milking systems are different too. They milk each cow an average of one minute faster and deliver 5% more yield in scientific trials. The reason for this is that the vacuum profile applied at a cow’s teat-end is similar to that of a calf – a design unique to Dairymaster parlours.
Manufacturing Model
Their focus is not just on the livestock. The milking machine can talk to the operator through the entire process like a dairy sat nav for the farmer. Dairymaster’s innovative product range encompasses five key areas: Milking Equipment; Automated Feeding Systems; Manure Scrapers; Cow Health & Fertility Monitors and Milk Cooling Tanks. Technology is a big focus throughout. Dairymaster does the opposite to more expected business practices. It researches, develops and manufactures in one location. This integrated manufacturing model has allowed capability to be built, strengthened team building and has helped engender a culture where information and ideas are shared and a dogged determination to succeed evident in all areas. This is one of the many things that makes Dairymaster special.
