“Smart” Milk Sensing System developed by AIC

Whether you want to milk cows wetter or just need more consistent milk-out “Smart” Milk Sensing is far superior because it works in “Real Time”

AIC’s patented “Smart” sensing, senses the density of the milk to calculate milk flow rates. The end-of-milking signal relayed to the take-off is based on the actual milk flow rate.   A cow’s milk yield is also derived from the milk flow rate.
Conventional Detachers (Take Offs) use devises such as meters and resistance sensors to trigger the detach signal. These devises do NOT provide “real time” flow rate sensing. Fill-and-dump milk meters trigger detach between dumps. Resistance sensors trigger detach at set resistance levels. Higher butter fat content milk, creates more resistance extending milking unit on time by detaching at lower flow rates. Lower butter fat content milk creates less resistance reducing milking unit on time by detaching at high flow rates. The result of these conventional approaches is inconsistent detaching.  

In addition to instantly sensing milk yield and flow rates, the “Smart” milk sensing system uses a patented technology to detect the sodium ions and milk temperature in relation to the milk’s density and mass providing a superior means of detecting the SCC level in the milk.       

AIC’s “Smart” milk sensing is a low cost, low maintenance technology that lends itself well to compiling milking efficiency data such as Prep Ratio, Average Milking Time, SCC, Milk Temperature, Peak Flow Rates, Milk Production, Milker Unit ON Time, Cows Milked per/hour and more. The system is networked into AIC’s powerful Dairy Management System called the Herd Tracker II ^TM.  “Smart” sensing easily adapts to existing parlors and tie stall barns.
