How it works
Lidar
The lidar is installed on top of the vat. It calculates the volume inside the vat and sends these values to the transceiver.
Set up alerts to find out when milking has started/ended or when milk has been collected + more.
Temperature Sensors
The temperature sensors are located in 2 places, 1 on the inlet pipe and 1 in the vat pocket. These temperature sensors are constantly recording values of the milk entering and sitting inside the vat. It then sends these to the transceiver.
Set up alerts to be notified when your milk is not at the correct temp or when a vat wash has not been run prior to milking + more.
Magnetometer
The magnetometer is installed on the agitator. The magnetic field of the agitator when it is turned on allows the sensor to pick up recordings. These recordings determine whether the agitator is on or off, which is then transmitted back to the transceiver.
Set up alerts to get notified when your agitator has stopped working so it doesn’t cost you.
Transceiver
The transceiver is installed close to the milking line so that all sensors can be wired back to it to transmit the data. The transceiver receives data from the milk sensors and then transmits it to your dashboard and sends you an alert via text or email.
Alerts
Levno will alert you to any important issues straight away via text or email. You have the ability to select alerts and parameters that matter to you. Add alerts for other people on farm.
A range of reports are available to see performance changes over time.
What farmers are saying
"Levno's technology is the way forward for us. By using Levno, I don't need to be on the farms everyday, I don't need to be checking up on the guys everyday. We know instantly if there is a problem and we can fix it."
Bruce Collinson -Smith
It's sustainable to have a Levno system, because if something goes wrong we are onto it within 5 minutes. We react as soon as we get an alert from Levno and that allows us to save the milk.
Hamish Burdon
We can have 13,000 litres of milk in the vat at anytime, Levno has really saved us a couple of times with the vat and chiller not being turned on. Levno alerted us to the mistake, allowing us to resolve it before the milk was spoiled.
Jason Jones
“Recently at 1.30 am my refrigeration unit wasn’t working, so the milk temperature got high. An alert to my phone saved me half a vat of milk worth $3,000.”
Roy Tiller
“One of our staff members left the refrigeration unit off one weekend and Levno alerted me early enough so we could get that milk chilled and had no problems sending it to Fonterra.”
Cam Lewis
“Farmers have had various warnings about future regulations. Investing in new equipment in advance, and knowing it'll comply with the future standards, gives me one less thing to worry about. It's a total relief.”
