管理周期的完善-中英对照
乳牛业正在日益成为一个复杂而且尖端的行业，需要从牛群中获得准确的，最新的信息，业务上的决策是至关重要的。除此之外，不断提高的消费者利益，牛群的照料，可追溯性操作以及食品质量，所有这些和牧场相关的活动，都要求有更准确的记录。仅仅依靠手工记录已经不能满足需要了。
自动化能够对管理活动提供切实的帮助，通过准确的奶牛健康，照料，奶产品和成本的信息， 农场主可以作出正确的牛群管理决策。自动化同样可以使农场主从单调的手工劳作中解脱出来， 让农场主将精力集中在如何管理农场上。
Crystal 自动化牛群观察和牛群管理
Crystal是一种实用的，易学的牧群管理软件，通过完全自动的四个日常管理步骤，完善管理周期。它对乳牛场的所有工作程序进行控制，并实现其自动化，这种复杂的自动系统是通过利用Crystal完善的管理工具，实施牛群观察和牛群管理，将乳牛群的管理程序进行优化。
管理，定义为四个循环周期：
1 观察：通过观察环境和状况开始管理。
2 分析：第二个步骤是对观察进行分析。
3 控制：然后作出决策进行控制，并改变状况。
4 报告：对结果进行汇报，并从新开始观察。
Crystal关注过程控制，信息管理和决策，以提高家畜农场的产量，利润和生活方式。
Crystal准确的牧群管理
本系统最重要的特点
•通过准确的，可靠的感测器测量，自动进行牛群观察，并准确测量牛群的产量、传导性、温度、血液、计步器操作、牛群体重，喂料。
•按照用户定义的计步器，分析和综合所有的感测器信息，在牛群日志和处理事件中进行记载。
•通过状况的设定进行牛群自动化管理，例如：牛群或牛奶转移，采取喂料或挤奶处理。
•使用方便的关注目录，可以在早期显示相关信息， 这样可以及时对相关问题采取直接措施。
•通过网站连接其他所有保证金保管员的信息。
Crystal 标准组体结构
个人电脑是Crystal 周期管理的中心，可以使Crystal具有相当的灵活性，使每个用户可以按照自身的需要，提供所需要的信息，雇员、顾问、兽医和其他用户可以获得他们自己语言的Crystal数据。获得和修改数据的权利由每个农场的经理人决定。作为标准组体结构，每个用户仅仅能够“看到”安装给他们相关的信息。
Crystal 延伸的网络体系结构
Crystal的网络体系结构遍布整个农场建筑物使其方便测量，例如：农场可以从全饲养自动集中喂料，或者挤奶室自动化开始，然后使用先进的“插入式”装置如奶量计、自动挤奶系统，或者挤奶室中先进的感测器。Crystal的每个模式采用相同的布置，这样为日后的升级提供了方便。针对不同环境的农场，可以提供无线处理程序和个人电脑网络操作。
Completing the Management Circle
Dairy farming is becoming an increasingly complex and sophisticated business. The need to have accurate, up to date information on which to base herd and business decisions is essential. In addition to this, growing consumer interest, animal welfare, traceability and food quality are all areas where there are increasing demands for accurate record keeping in relation to farm activities. It is impossible to satisfy all these demands from manual records.
Automation is a real aid to good management practices. With the right information on cattle health, welfare, milk production and costs, the farmer can make the correct herd management decisions. Automation also frees time from mundane manual tasks allowing the farmer to concentrate on what matters - managing his farm.
Crystal automatic animal observation AND animal handling. Crystal is the practical and easy to use herd management software that completes the Management Circle by fully automating the four steps of dairy management. It controls and automates all the processes on the dairy farm. This sophisticated automation system is a Crystal clear management tool for automatic animal observation and animal handling that optimizes the dairy herd management routine.
Management, by definition, is a circular process with four steps:
1 Observe: Management starts with observing situations and circumstances.
2 Analyse: Second step is to analyse observations.
3 Control: Then decisions are made to control and change circumstances.
4 Report: Results decisions are reported and the observations start again.
Crystal takes care of process control, information management and decision support to improve livestock farming productivity, profitability and lifestyle.
Crystal Precision Herd Management
The most important features of the system:
• Automatic animal observation by reliable and accurate sensors measuring: yield, conductivity, temperature, blood, pedometer activity, animal weight, feed intake.
• Analyse and combine all sensor information with animal agenda and treatment events based on user defined parameters.
• Automatic animal handling depending on conditions set, e.g. divert animals or milk, adapt feed or milking treatments.
• Easy to use attention lists that show relevant information at an early stage. Actions can be entered directly in the list to combat problems immediately.
• Link all information to other stakeholders via the world wide web.
Crystal’s Modular Construction
The PC is the centre of the Crystal Management Circle, which makes Crystal totally flexible, enabling each user to customize the presentation of information to best suit their needs. Employee, consultant, veterinarian, and many other users can have access to Crystal information, each with their own language. Access and modification rights are determined by the farm manager for each user. As a modular construction, each user only “sees” the information which is relevant to their installation.
Crystal’s Extendable Network Architecture Networking architecture of Crystal throughout the farm buildings enables easy up scaling. For instance farms can start with FullFeed automatic concentrate feeding or milking parlour automation and extend the system later with advanced ‘plug-in’ devices like milk meters, automatic milking systems, or advanced sensors in the parlour. Crystal operates with the same layout in every module, enabling easy upgrades in future. Depending on the farm circumstances different wireless process and PC networking solutions are available.
