Dairy cows, stainless steel, and IT – a success story

RUGGED STAINLESS STEEL DISPLAYS MAKE DAIRY FARMS SMART

An Example of Industrial IT in Modern Agriculture

For two decades, our stainless steel series has proven itself thousands of times in plant engineering, the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in medical and process technology – everywhere hygiene, reliability, and robustness are essential.

Yet, the very same requirements can also be found in completely different industries.

A current example comes from dairy farming – here, rugged stainless steel industrial displays ensure reliable visualization and control under particularly demanding conditions:

Background

Modern dairy farming relies on technology-driven solutions to optimize feeding schedules, milking processes, and overall livestock management. Farmers need reliable, industrial-grade displays that provide real-time data visualization to enhance efficiency, productivity, and animal welfare.

However, agricultural environments present several challenges, including temperature fluctuations, exposure to dirt and moisture, and the need for operation with gloves. To meet these demands, dairy farmers require a rugged, easy-to-clean, and highly durable display system that ensures seamless monitoring and control of daily farm operations.

Main Challenges

Harsh Agricultural Environments: Displays must withstand dust, moisture, and temperature variations common in dairy farming.
Glove-Friendly Operation: Farmers often wear thick work gloves, requiring a resistive touchscreen that responds to touch without removing gloves.
Easy Maintenance & Cleaning: Equipment must be washable and resistant to dirt buildup, ensuring hygienic and long-lasting operation in farm settings.
Temperature Variability: The display must perform consistently in fluctuating conditions, from cold storage areas to warm barns.
