Handle Pen Accuracy Attentions

Modified on Tue, 10 Nov at 3:35 PM

Use the On different location worklist to review animals with a Different milking group attention. Check whether the animal needs to return to its assigned pen or whether its assigned pen needs to change.

Pen Accuracy requires SmartSort Ear or SmartSort Neck linked directly to Nedap Now.



Review the Attention

  1. Open the Worklist app.
  2. Under Other worklists, select On different location.
  3. On the Active tab, find an animal with Different milking group in the Reason column.
  4. Compare Pen with Detected at pen/farm. Check Last detected to see when the detection occurred.
  5. Check the animal's actual location and decide which action below applies.


Return the Animal to Its Assigned Pen

If the assigned pen is correct and the animal is in another pen, move the animal back to its assigned pen according to your farm's procedure.

You can use SmartSort to separate the animal the next time it passes through the gate:

  1. Select the animal number to open the animal details.
  2. Select Sort now.
  3. Under Sorting area, select the area where you want to separate the animal.
  4. Select Save. The animal is scheduled for sorting the next time it passes through the gate.

After sorting, return the animal to its assigned pen.


Correct the Assigned Pen

If the animal is in the intended pen but its assigned pen is incorrect, update the pen assignment in the system that manages it:

  • Nedap Now manages pen assignments: In the On different location worklist, use Assign to last detected pen for the animal after checking that the detected pen is correct.
  • Your herd management system manages pen assignments: Change the assigned pen in that system.

If your herd management system uses CSV File Exchange, the On different location worklist can be exported through the Data Connector. The exported attentions can support sorting rules in your herd management system, depending on its integration.


Remove an Attention That Does Not Need Action

If an attention does not need action, select the trash icon in the animal's row to remove the attention from the list.


Check the Handling History

Open the Past week tab to review handled attentions. Check Handled by, Action, and Finished.
