GET THE ONLY MVMS WITH VAT AUTOMATION
Vat-Man Auto is the only MVMS with an automated and integrated vat control box. This means Vat-Man Auto will turn on your vat refrigeration and automation when the milk volume meets a level/threshold that you set.
Big Data for Big Farms
Vat-Man Auto will give you a multi-farm view with multi-user permissions, the perfect solution for large farms.
Set alerts to go to those who need to be in the know. You decide.
Set your team up for success
People get tired and people get busy. That's when most milk cooling incidents are likely to happen.
Our automatic vat refrigeration and agitation will reduce the risk of human error. No more frozen milk or warm milk in the vat.
Milking duration
Vat-Man Auto will send you alerts if the milking duration varies significantly from the normal duration for the season.
Milk collection
Know when your milk is collected and find out if milk has not been collected at the usual collection time.
In-Shed Display
The Vat-Man In Shed Display is an optional add-on that can be added to any Vat-Man system.
Do you milk cows with a phone in your hand? We didn’t think so…
We designed the Vat-Man Shed Display so you can get your vat data live and at a glance, without the need to check your phone during milking.
Vat-Man In-Shed Display
VAT DISPLAY UNIT
Vat-Man Auto comes with a vat display unit.
Manually override the refrigeration and agitator in case of an emergency or to save power on cooling calf milk.
Clear and visible CIP button for the tanker driver to turn on the vat wash as required.
