Automatic Milk Collection Unit (AMCU) is an all-in-one solution that operates on desktop, mobile, web, and DPU platforms. It simplifies milk collection tasks, including quality testing and weighing. The AMCU instantly records milk quantity, fat content, and solids, facilitating transparent payments to farmers while streamlining data management and providing instant farmer notifications.
Components of AMCU
1)Software
The AMCU software can be used on computers, phones, the internet, and specialized devices. It helps by measuring the exact amount, fat, and solids in the milk as it's collected. It then automatically calculates how much the farmer should be paid. This makes everything clear, speeds up milk collection, and keeps records easy. The farmer also gets quick notifications.
2)Hardware
Hardware part of AMCU is consist of
a)Weighing machine
Weighing machine which help to weigh the exact amount of milk. Depending upon the milk quantity farmer will end SMS directly on the famer’s registered mobile number.
b)FAT/SNF/Degree Analyzer
It is an analyzer that helps the farmer to know the FAT/SNF/Degree of the milk. Depending upon the FAT/SNF/Degree of the milk farmer will get paid for the milk.
c)Integrator
It is a bluetooth connector device used for receiving the data from weighing machine & FAT/SNF/Degree to AMCU mobile application.
For the AMCU desktop application cable connection is must to connect with the weighing machine and FAT/SNF/Degree.
Working of the AMCU
1)Milk collection
In each specific area, we have established a dedicated milk collection unit. Within each unit, there is a Bulk Milk Cooler (BMC) in place, designed to meticulously control and maintain the optimal temperature of the collected milk.
2)Weighing and SNF/Degree/FAT analyser
With the help of weighing machine we can take actual liters of milk. Once we have the actual amount in liters, we'll check for the milk's SNF (Solids-Not-Fat), Degree, and FAT content.
After successfully weighing and analyzing, the farmer will receive an SMS notification on their registered mobile number.
To transfer the weighing and SNF/FAT/Degree data to the AMCU mobile application, we use an integrator. For the AMCU desktop application, we use cables to transfer this information.All the data is stored in a centralized system for efficient management.
