Design and build a management, control and monitoring system for devices produced by Interpuls for the Dairy management sector.
Back in 2014 the challenge was to collect as much data as possible from the devices made by Interpuls (pulsators, milking clusters, etc.), store it in a local database and display a few charts. That's how the IFC (Interpuls Farm Controller) was born: a Linux®-based industrial mini PC installed upstream of all the devices (connected via Interpuls' proprietary protocol over an RS-485 bus). Updates were carried out rarely, and manually.
Today more than 200 farms worldwide are connected to a cloud system from which the IFCs (and all devices) are updated automatically whenever a vulnerability is found, following precise logic (a bulk timezone strategy, to keep the farms operational). The IFCs process data coming from the devices (edge computing), display real-time charts and are connected to a single cloud dashboard that enables monitoring, control, backup management and remote updates.
The extensive experience gained in this field has led us to collaborate on several fronts with the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences at the University of Parma.
