SmartD–TECT is the difference between hand stripping every cow in the herd or having the job done for you – automatically.

SmartD-TECT is an early mastitis warning system that, during the first 60 seconds of milking, measures the conductivity of individual quarters comparing one against the other. You can tune the sensitivity of the system and set a benchmark threshold. Animals recording conductivity levels outside this threshold will be flagged as possible mastitis problems. SmartD-TECT is a stand-alone product that alerts an operator by way of an LED indicator located at each bail. When the system is installed onto a rotary platform and connected to Waikato SmartECR’s, it will in the event of an alert, communicate with the BailMate ram, keep the BailGate down and present the cow back to the operator for inspection.

SmartLINK and Protrack Vantage, an automatic drafting and data storage system

SmartLINK is a remote wireless interface and a new product from Waikato Milking Systems designed to connect SmartD-TECT to LIC’s Protrack Vantage. Protrack Vantage responds to messages sent to it from each SmartD-TECT bail sensor. Combining this technology, cows identified by SmartD-TECT are automatically drafted to a holding pen for post milking inspection. Data received during milking is stored in the MINDA data base and can be retrieved for future use.
