smaXtec Integration:
VAS Pulse Platform
Making life easier for dairy farmers is vitally important to us. This is why are proud to announce the collaboration between smaXtec and VAS, enabling farmers who already use the herd management software to simply integrate their smaXtec alerts in their existing application. Furthermore, we want to keep the farmers’ amount of work to a minimum, including necessary data entries. Up to now, certain data had to actively be entered into both systems. Thanks to our collaboration, all necessary data synchs automatically to ensure customers work with updated data at all times while saving time due to single data entry.

smaXtec
smaXtec offers a powerful tool that supports dairy farmers in managing cow health and fertility. The revolutionary bolus-based system provides customers with vital information such as heat detection, calving prediction, health monitoring and frequency of water intake which simultaneously is a direct indicator of feed intake. The cow monitoring system is particularly advanced in terms of early detection of diseases and irregularities as continuous temperature monitoring of the internal body temperature is the best indicator for changes in animal health. Whenever there is need to take action, farmers get an alert. They can react much faster and most importantly as early as possible which results in a reduction of severe diseases and medication and thereof continuously stable milk production and reduced costs.
smaXtec’s goal is to improve dairy farmers’ daily work by providing useful insights and early alerts in case of irregularities. By using our newly combined product, farmers will be able to both improve animal health and welfare as well as performance and financial outcomes significantly.
