BARNEYE vision soaking intelligent strategies introduction

Standard group soaking

When the set temperature or THI is hit, the soaking operation will be automatically triggered. As the temperature or THI increases, the soaking intensifies automatically. During the process, the entire group of sprinklers performs a unified opening and closing cycle. Under normal circumstances, the opening time of each cycle is 30-90 seconds (subject to the flow and penetration speed of cow fur), and the closing time is 3-15 minutes (subject to the drying speed of the body surface). This mode will operate without regard to the presence or absence of cows.

Precision group soaking

The identification of cows visited is added for control in the precision group soaking mode. During the soaking period, when water is sprayed, the system will turn off the sprinklers in the cattle-free area to avoid wasting water.

Intelligence individual soaking mode

It is an innovative and revolutionary new soaking method that the Barneye system contributes to the dairy industry. Each sprinkler is on standby at any time and will be independently controlled in this mode. Soaking from each nozzle is triggered by the visit of cows, and the cycle strategy after that executed by individual sprinklers is determined by the degree of heat stress. After the cows leave, the sprinkler stops running and returns to standby.

Supplement of the individual soaking intelligence mode - Automatic reinforcement based on feeding behaviour

Barneye can monitor and count the number of cows under the sprinklers at any time. When the concentration of cows in the area is high, for example, when the concentrated feeding of cows after milking occurs, the system will automatically capture this “golden" opportunity and increase the spraying frequency immediately. It will target herd heat stress and try to get it to lower as soon as possible in the next 30-50 minutes, thereby significantly reducing heat stress in dairy cows, improving cow welfare and increasing milk.
