REMEDY Plus: Adding automation and powering predictions for sustainable production

该项目涉及REMEDY（**RE**al ti**M**e **D**air**Y**）的扩展和进一步自动化。REMEDY是在Innovate UK的支持下为奶农开发的一种新型、精确、数据驱动的解决方案。目前的农场精密技术通常为复杂乳制品生产系统的各个组件提供隔离的解决方案。REMEDY成功地将数据和精确技术相结合，为实时决策支持系统创建了软件，将精确，数据驱动的解决方案置于奶农的指尖，最近向该行业推出的乳腺炎模式分析工具（MPAT）证明了这一点，该工具已被300多名农民采用，以帮助和告知农场的乳腺炎管理。我们现在建议自动化新的数据馈送，并与Gridimp合作开发一个新的远程能源监测系统，将能源使用的实时数据馈送到REMEDY平台。这将使奶农能够计算和评估他们的效率、生产力和环境影响，然后使用针对自己农场校准的复杂模拟工具，以真实的时间确定最佳管理决策，所有这些都只需要最少的数据整理和处理工作。REMEDY的这些改进将有助于消除高效和有效的农场规划的最大障碍之一（缺乏时间）。“REMEDY Plus”将是一种增强型工具，用于为奶牛和牛群层面的预测提供动力，并为决策提供信息。“REMEDY Plus”将为奶农提供一个独特的整体系统，由一系列前所未有的技术和农场信息推动。“REMEDY Plus”将允许农民和他们的顾问运行多种特定农场的“假设”情景，并评估竞争决策的结果，为最佳农场特定解决方案提供框架，通过营养效率，生殖性能，动物健康和可持续性来提高生产力，减少净碳排放，减少和改进与每个农场相关的抗菌剂使用。我们将确保“REMEDY Plus”保持相关性并关注最终用户。为了确保这一点，我们拥有一支由学者、乳制品行业专家、精密技术专家、兽医和农民组成的团队。该团队拥有基础设施和丰富的经验来提供KE，确定目标市场，建立广泛的采用并支持持续的用户需求。我们打算继续与一群兽医和我们共同开发的农民共同设计REMEDY。

This project involves expansion and further automation of REMEDY (**RE**al ti**M**e **D**air**Y**), a novel, precision, data-driven solution for dairy farmers initially developed with support from Innovate UK.Current on-farm precision technologies often deliver isolated solutions to individual components of complex dairy production systems. REMEDY has successfully combined data and precision technologies to create software for a real-time decision support system placing precision, data-driven, solutions at the finger-tips of dairy farmers as evidenced by the recent launch of the Mastitis Pattern Analysis Tool (MPAT) to the industry which has already been adopted by over 300 farmers to aid and inform mastitis management on farm. We now propose automating new data feeds and to develop a new remote energy monitoring system, in collaboration with Gridimp, feeding live data on energy use into the REMEDY Platform. This will enable dairy farmers to calculate and evaluate their efficiency, productivity and environmental impact and then use sophisticated simulation tools, calibrated for their own farm, to identify optimal management decisions in real time, all with minimal effort involved in data collation and processing. These enhancements to REMEDY will thereby help remove one of the biggest barriers (lack of time) to efficient and effective farm planning.'REMEDY Plus' will be an enhanced tool for powering predictions and informing decision making at the cow and herd level. 'REMEDY Plus' will provide the dairy farmer with a unique holistic system, fueled by an unprecedented array of technological and farm-based information. 'REMEDY Plus' will allow farmers and their advisors to run a multitude of farm-specific 'what-if' scenarios and evaluate the outcomes of competing decisions, providing a framework for optimal farm-specific solutions to improve productivity via nutritional efficiency, reproductive performance, animal health, and sustainability by reducing net carbon emissions, reducing and refining antimicrobial use associated with each farm.We will ensure 'REMEDY Plus' retains relevance and a focus on end-users. To ensure this, we have a team of academics, dairy industry specialists, precision technology specialists, veterinarians and farmers. This team has the infrastructure and substantial proven experience to deliver KE, identify target markets, establish the widespread adoption and support ongoing user needs. We intend to continue to co-design REMEDY with a group of vets and our co-developing farmers.
