Accurate identification where it matters most
Conventional RFID systems rely on a single read at the entry point and cannot verify the cow's identity in the stall during milking. This can lead to incorrect identification, especially in crowded or challenging conditions.
DairyNet Cow Verification uses visual recognition to continuously validate each cow directly in the stall. This ensures that identification remains accurate even when RFID data is missing or incorrect.
How it works?
Capture
A multi-camera system captures each cow as she enters the rotary from defined angles.
Analyze
The system analyzes body shape, height and additional visual traits using AI and Machine Learning.
Verify
Cow Verification confirms or corrects the cow ID in real time – even if RFID data is missing.
Integrate
All verified and corrected data flows directly into GEA DairyNet for accurate herd management.
What are the benefits of the DairyNet Cow Verification System?
- Handles crowded entry situations: Two cows crossing the antenna area at the same time can cause collisions in walk‑through systems. Cow Verification still recognizes each animal visually.
- Correct stall assignment: Walk‑through systems only know the cow entered, not which stall she actually occupies. Cow Verification identifies the cow in the stall itself, ensuring correct data assignment.
- Works even if the RFID tag is missing or broken: Visual pattern recognition assigns the cow to the correct ID.
- Real-time validation & correction: If the RFID-system reads the wrong cow, Cow Verification overrules the incorrect assignment based on image match.
- Insensitive to environmental interference: Metal, moisture and electrical noise can affect RFID-systems but cameras continue to deliver consistent recognition.
- Self-learning system: Accuracy improves over time as more images are collected.
In this way, Cow Verification significantly reduces operational errors throughout the milking process. By reliably confirming each cow’s identity, the system eliminates common mistakes such as incorrect feeding assignments or linking milk data to the wrong animal. This ensures that every action taken is based on accurate information.
With consistently validated data, you can make more precise feed-to-yield decisions, monitor cow health more effectively, and improve the accuracy of all herd management decisions based on milking data.
Designed for rotary milking systems
DairyNet Cow Verification is built in rotary milking systems where accurate identification is essential. Cameras capture each cow directly in the milking stall, enabling identity verification at the exact point where milking data is recorded.
The system uses multiple viewing angles to analyze visual traits and create a consistent visual identity for each animal.
