It also benefits farmers as this state-of-the-art solution brings transparency in the dairy sector.”
The company’s product Robotic Milk Collection Unit (RMCU), a state-of-the-art solution to make milk collection easier and to address problems with the collection process. This revolutionary solution, Robotic Milk Collection Unit (RMCU™), measures the Milk Volume, Solids Not Fat (SNF) and the Fat content of the milk poured by the individual farmers via respective RFIDs. The farmer selects the source of milk whether from cow or buffalo; after the milk is poured, it is analysed under 8 parameters. The milk gets rejected in case of not meeting the requisite standards through a separate outlet followed by an Automatic CIP to clean the sensor. This ensures that the process is completely contactless and free from human contact.
