Solar thermal panels create a demand for a unique sensor maintenance system
Unlike other solar panels, Soltropy’s award-winning and innovative design doesn’t need antifreeze. It is ice immune, uses flexible modules, and integrates with standard heating systems.
This results in hot water throughout the year, reduced energy bills and a lower carbon footprint.
Automating a previously manual process in the dairy industry
The dairy pasteuriser needed an automated heating and cooling method, and a way to open and close pipes carrying water and milk at different times.
We created and retrofitted IoT enabled Pasteuriser Controller System, allowing the farmers to manage the pasteuriser remotely, freeing up their time.
Improving dairy cow health and productivity with a digital dental check up
There is no safe and easy way to check inside a cow’s mouth and so cow dental health is not monitored in the UK. Ovation Agriculture is developing a tool that will enable safe access to a cow’s mouth and is using imaging and software tools to create individual dental records.
Managing a cow’s dental health gives them a longer, more comfortable life and improves their productivity.
How a small dairy can gather new information from legacy equipment.
Small scale batch-processing dairy equipment has little automation or built-in monitoring capability. It can be challenging to understand where efficiencies can be gained. We created a network of battery-powered, IoT-enabled sensors and retrofitted these to existing equipment.
Now Appleby Creamery can identify operational areas where improvements would be most impactful.
