Centralized dashboard with key farm metrics

Purpose

1. Centralized dashboard automates the collection, visualization, and reporting of key dairy farm metrics, integrating sensor, financial, and operational data into a single interface for real-time and historical analytics.

2. Automates data ingestion from farm systems (milking, feed, climate, machinery) for oversight and predictive analytics.

3. Enables farm managers to automate alerting and threshold-based event automations for KPI deviations (milk yield, feed conversion, animal health).

4. Supports automating compliance, sustainability reporting, and operational optimization through aggregated automated data tracking.

5. Drives automatable decision-making with automatedly updated graphs, custom automator dashboards, and advanced automated reporting options.

Trigger Conditions

1. Data source update events automating ingestion (sensor refresh, system sync, operator log input).

2. Pre-set time-based automations (hourly, daily, weekly summaries).

3. Exception-based triggers—automated alerts for anomalies (yield drop, temperature spike).

4. API webhook automations for external systems pushing automatable data.

5. Automated scheduling for compliance or management reporting.
