Key Performance Indicators (KPI's)

KPIs, short for key performance indicators, provide insights into the performance of the farm, the cows and the robots. The KPIs on the start screen show the performance for the previous seven days. In addition, the average for the past week and the current values are also shown. 

How do you set KPIs on your dashboard?

If you would like to personalize your entire dashboard, including KPIs in a step-by-step approach via our built-in guided tour, go to the Help section > Getting started > Personalisation, and click on Start

How to use the KPIs

Step 1: Select the herd or group whose KPIs you want to see. 

Step 2: You can click on All KPIs in the top right to see all the available KPIs. 

Step 3: Click on a KPI to get information about performance at barn, location, group or robot level.  

KPI tresholds

KPI colours may change every 20 minutes. The colours are based on deviations. The calculation per KPI is different, and detailed information will be shown here.

KPI name Fixed/relative
Number of Refusals fixed if <1 red else green
Number of Failures fixed if > 5 then red else if <3 green else orange
Number of Milkings/Cow/Day fixed if <2.5 red else green
Number of Connection Attempts fixed if >1.3 red else green
Total Amount of Milk Produced relative (-)if deviation is higher than 5% then red,  2% -5% orange, else green
Milk Production/Cow/Day relative (-) if deviation is higher than 5% then red,  2% -5% orange, else green
Number of Visit relative (-) if deviation is higher than %5 then red, else green
