Connecterra IDA uses artificial intelligence to analyze cow behavior data and provide actionable insights for health, nutrition, and management.
Overview
Connecterra's IDA (Intelligent Dairy Farmer's Assistant) represents the next evolution in dairy monitoring by applying advanced artificial intelligence to analyze cow behavior data. Rather than simply alerting on threshold violations, IDA interprets patterns to provide specific recommendations.
The system monitors individual cow behavior through sensors and uses machine learning algorithms to understand what the data means in context. IDA can identify not just that a cow is behaving differently, but suggest what might be causing the change and what actions to take.
This AI-driven approach aims to make sensor technology accessible to more farmers by reducing the expertise needed to interpret data effectively.
