How a village dairy cooperative collects milk: testing fat and SNF, pricing, recording and paying farmers.
Drawing diagram…
Dairy milk collection sequence: a farmer brings milk to the village collection centre. The operator weighs it and the milk analyser measures fat and SNF. The collection software calculates the price from the rate chart, records the entry and sends an SMS receipt. Data syncs to the dairy union server; at the end of the payment cycle the union pays farmers directly to their bank accounts.
