Smart Connectivity
with
Hoofcount
The smart connectivity functionality is available on all Hoofcount footbaths — Standard, Excel and Robot — and can also be retrofitted to existing units*.
It provides remote access to the automatic control box, allowing users to monitor settings and performance from a farm computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
The system connects directly to our web‑based control centre, which regulates and monitors performance and enables remote control of key features. These include updating control box settings off‑farm, receiving chemical‑level alerts, seeing which chemical is in use, and viewing real‑time data such as the number of cows using the footbath.
“Our customers tell us Hoofcount footbaths are simple and effective and once fitted and installed they can forget about the footbath process. However, a growing number are eager to connect remotely to their footbaths for a variety of reasons, for example to monitor chemical consumption and usage. This new functionality is designed to fit the bill.”
Advantages of smart connectivity:
- Update control box settings easily
- Predict chemical usage and see when drums are running low
- Monitor cow throughput
- Allow Hoofcount engineers to log in remotely to resolve issues without a farm visit
