General updates

New app - BATCHES

Optimize your data comparison foundation for rock-solid data. The new Batches app keeps your data tidy by organizing the batch/flock/groups across many different pieces of underlying equipment we support.

Broiler package - Trend Warnings added - catch problems early

Before it was a standalone feature, but now the powerful broiler Trend Warnings is included in the main package.

Trend Warnings delivers on our promise of having the system look out for you, rather than you looking out for the system.

You now catch underlying issues early with easy-to-implement resolutions to keep you on track.

New language - Traditional Chinese

It is now possible to use the platform in Traditional Chinese.

Mobile app (FarmOnline+) - New features

Remote access - Access Alarm, Datalink, Vison computer, etc.

You can now remotely access all locations you have permissions for. For example, Alarm Units can be reached remotely, expanding beyond the previous capability that allowed only Controller access.

Survey

Graph - More granular zoom

You can now use the bar at the bottom of analytics to zoom in to less than a day in the graph.

This helps you perform a detailed root-cause analysis of issues in your production environment.

Get Started Tour - New step

The Get Started Tour now includes the Application Switcher to inform users about other available applications.

Graphs - Filter buttons - Data from individual sensors

When data is from multiple sensors, the filter buttons appear.

This feature helps you gain more detailed information about the environment and underlying equipment.

Example in broiler management, you can now see individual average weight readings per bird weigher.

Batch overview - Extend button - data from individual sensor

This feature provides more detailed information about the environment and the equipment underlying it. For example, in ProGrow, this allows you to view average weight readings for each camera individually.

Main table - Extend button - data from individual sensors

This feature provides more detailed information about the environment and the underlying equipment. For example, in ProGrow, it allows you to see individual average weight readings per camera.

Main table - Improved sorting logic

We eliminated the option to sort by reference in the table when the key value does not support references.

Performance overview - Production day display

We have included the production day in both Performance Overview and Batch Overview to provide additional context.

Boards

Widgets - New Alarm widget

You can now add an Alarm widget to your boards. This widget provides a convenient overview of alarms from a specific location. It also allows you to open an alarm to view its context for quick insights.

Widgets - New Silo widget

You can now add a Silo widget to your boards to display one or multiple silos. When displayed individually, the silo is shown with a fill level graph. When showing several silos, the widget displays multiple silos with essential information for each. Additionally, the widget lets you open an alarm to quickly view its context and gain better insight.

Widgets - New Text widget

This can generate headlines that improve readability from a distance. You can now organize your Boards more effectively to maintain a clear overview of various aspects.

Widgets - Display where house data comes from

You can now toggle 'Show Location' when creating or editing a widget, allowing the selected location to be displayed. This improvement helps you better track the source of data within your operation.

Get Started Tour - New step

The Application Switcher has been included in the Get Started Tour to inform users about additional applications.

Analytics

Graph - More granular zoom

You can now use the bar at the bottom of Analytics to zoom in to less than a day on the graph. This helps you perform detailed root-cause analysis of issues in your production environment.

Get Started Tour - New step

The Application Switcher has been included in the Get Started Tour to ensure users are clearly aware of other applications.

Alarm

Alarm - Overview - Ability to invalidate alarm

You can now eliminate irrelevant alarms to concentrate on what truly matters in your production.

Export

Overview - Partner - Push data on create (KiK/Acqp)

Data is now submitted immediately after configuring the partner integration for KiK and Acqp. This allows service technicians to set up and complete the solution on the same day, with instant verification available in the external interface.

Silo

Overview - Table - Improved with new UI

The table view in Silo now matches the latest table design, offering a more user-friendly appearance.

Preview features

The features listed below are in preview. Contact us to become an early access customer and gain access to new preview features.

Tasks (part of subscription)

Overview - To-do list - Complete task in the past

Template - Calendar day templates

It is now possible to create templates that automate tasks based on calendar dates rather than batch days.

This enables tasks that are not directly tied to the animal's age; for production that runs more continuously, tasks by calendar data might make more sense.

Note: multiple templates can be set up for a location/house.

Overview - Set planned stocking date (batch start)

It is now possible to set the planned stocking date, allowing you to plan batch tasks without having to start a batch on the controller early.

Monitor (add-on + hardware)

Distribution - Recent distribution

Heatmaps of distribution are now available from day 0, whereas previously they only appeared from day 10 onwards. These early heatmaps help maintain consistent production during the crucial initial days of the batch.

Distribution - Batch distribution

It is possible to see distribution graphs from day 3 and onward. The early distribution gives a more complete picture of the production.

Activity - Recent activity - Dialog

It is now possible to Tag an activity event of interest for later evaluation.

Activity - Recent activity - Table

You can now view Tagged activities, making it easier to find specific ones.

Feature deprecation

The features below were removed during this period. We work tirelessly to improve our platform, including removing unused or replaced features. If any of the feature removals below cause concern, please reach out to service@skov.dk

Trend Warnings - Removed Feed Change input

Feed change functionality has been deprecated as we pursue a more integrated feed change capability.
